Guest bry25_uk Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Xp desktop icons vanished I have xp second home ed, and all of a sudden I have installed a blue tooth dongle, and upon restart, as requested by pc, all my items have vanished off the desktop. If i go via c,docs and settings etc, they are all in there but aren't actually visible on the desktop itself. I have placed a desktop toolbar in the bar at the bottom and again all items are present. I have two users on my pc and if you log on to the other one then all their items are present and correct! its just mine. I have un-installed the dongle just in case, but still no joy. For some reason, i cannot do a system restore either, it says it isnt possible after a few minutes of trying then restarting. doesn't give any other reason. I have norton and all is up to date on the protection front and have run a full virus scan. any help would be much apprciated,amany thanks. bryan
