My daughter was playing a game on my computer and after she quit all the
icons on my desktop are blank white pages. Like internet explorer used to
have the blue icon with the big e now is a white page with the corner turned
down. I tried a system restore but did not help. What do I need to do? Jerry
 
Install xp cd,exit the info page,go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:Sfc /Scannow
When its thru,type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,then type:EXIT Restart
computer,remove xp cd.If it still happens,create a new user,open xp in new
user,if all is ok,then the old user account is corrupted,delete it.
 
Thank you very much TaurArian. I changed the pixel by one and everythings
back to normal. Thanks Jerry
