| | Desktop icons dissapeared, broken desktop... Hello Windows 7 forums I am new and it is nice to meet you. Now down to business. I upgraded my laptop about a month ago to Windows 7 Ultimate from Vista. The other day I came on and none of my desktop icons were on my desktop. I restarted my computer a few times hoping that would work but, it has not. I also realized that my highlighting option when holding down the mouse button and dragging also does not work. I am not sure what to do about this and I could use some help. Thank you for your time and help  Last edited by caspur; 12-02-2009 at 11:30 AM.. Reason: problem solved |

Thank you for your time and help Hi casper and welcome Do you have a back up to restore from a point in time before you had the problem? Do you have the win 7 dvd? Ken J+ |
