HELP! My desktop-icons are gone!

[ronalde]

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...)

did you try...right click on destop...views...show destop icons?

Sorry! Just tried it before reading this post...

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.]
