Guest Paul Koukos Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Hey all, all of a sudden every few hours, my Taskbar and the Desktop Icons disappear. The only thing I can see is my Background Color from HP. Is there some kind of setting or fix for this. The only way out is to control delete and restart. There are all the programs still running in the background but I do not see them. Thanks.
Guest Bob I Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: TASKBAR & DESKTOP ICONS You may want to stop running the program that is blowing up explorer. Are you running antivirus software? Have you checked for trojans or other malware?

Guest Paul Koukos Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: TASKBAR & DESKTOP ICONS How can I figure out what program is doing it? I also use McAfee for my antivirus.

Go into Safe Mode and run McAfee anti virus and see if it finds anything.
