SOMETIMES.. you can right click on the screen and then click "show icons" or something similar. Also, check on the active desktop settings. Switch it off for a bit 1-2 minutes then let it come back on. Normal Mode.

If nothing else works, buy a cheap hard drive and put it in the computer as your "C" drive (temporarily remove your old drive). Use your backup disks to restore the operating system onto that new drive. Once the system is back up and running, put your old drive in the computer in the "D" drive position (usually configured with a jumper on the drive). Run a good virus checker on the data on the old drive. Copy your files onto the new "C" drive after they are clean. Format the "D" drive using the -f option and leave it configured as a second drive.

This is the last option but it always works.
