    HELP! My desktop-icons are gone!


    I wanted to install Daemon Tools Pro. It installed SPTD (or something) and wanted to reboot before going further with installation.

    I rebooted, but then it installed SPTD again and wanted to reboot for the second time. After the second reboot the installation-program didn't continue and all of my desktop-icons are gone.

    They are still in the folder:
    C:\Users\Ronad\Desktop
    But won't display on desktop.

    I tried system-recovery to the point before the SPTD (some driver) was installed. I succeeded but I haven't got my icons back. I also restarted the service Themes...

    Can anyone help me?

    (See my system-specs for further info...)

    And it works! Can't figure out why they were hidden...

    Thanks anyway!

    Thanks, Jacee!

    I don't know if there is a newer version that doens't causes problems.

    Altough, I had it installed on my X86 W7 and now on X64 W7 it's causing problems... It won't even install. On X86, it would.

    [Edit: Problem solved. Now using Alcohol 52%. Also designed for W7. Works fine.]
