Right click on desktop and restore original settings? If that doesn't work you have a memory allocation problem...basically, you have so many things in your startup configuration that there is not enough memory left to initialize your desktop.\n\nRemedies: Run MSCONFIG from your Start...Run command and check the Startup tab. Remove everything that is not a required item. Basically, keep all windows, antivirus, spyware programs and disable everything else. Also, try restarting in safemode, if they come up there that is an assurance that it is memory related.

Start->Run->type MSconfig\n\nThen go to the startup tab. \nIt should be under there as whatever the process name is. Just uncheck it. Hit apply then when you computer restarts a window pops up telling you that things have been changed. This will pop up everytime so hit that do not show again message. Everything is still ok.\n\nOr go under start menu->all programs->start up\nAnd delete the short cut out of there if there is one. If not do the other thing i said.
