any new ones on the desktop..they just dont appear...

Also....when u click and drag with ur mouse on the desktop it makes the

Right click on your desktop, point to View and make sure Show Desktop Icons
is checked. If that doesn't work Restart your PC. If still no Icons do a
System Restore.

Ok, I'm not very computer smart so... I hope someone can help me with this
problem.

I have the same problem as 'Ben' only the clock disappears first. Ok, I'm
going to break it down quickly.

I turn the computer on... it's fine for about an hour and a half. Then, the
clock disappears and all of my open windows on the taskbar move to the left
where the start menu is. After this happens, the icons on my desktop and the
buttons in Internet Explorer, AOL, etc. start disappearing. After a while the
screen beings to go completely blank.

Anyone have any ideas other than constantly restarting my computer?
