    Windows keep disappearing from desktop


    Hey guys i just got a computer w/ windows 7 a few days ago but now i'm having some strange issues. Every time i try to open up certain programs/folders it flashes for a brief second then disappears. It happens for stuff like Opera(browser) and i can't even view windows explorer(My documents, etc).

    If there's an obvious solution to this problem then i'm sorry but i just can't figure it out right now.
