have you tried a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html before this problem happened?

You missed all the system icons and third party programs icons throughout the system , and rebuilding icon cache etc didn't work?

You told almost everything . I am asking one more thing out of curiosity ... have you shifter from/to DVI\VGA etc shortly ? If so, try getting back to the native one.

IMO, one thing is left which solves almost all of the issues, that is http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html .

If you were to logon to another user account, or create another user account with exactly the same account type as the one you had trouble, were the desktop icons present ?

Yeah i tried that 2-3 hours before the problem occurred. However the DVI port didn't work so i switched back to the VGA one.

That is what I expected Sometimes these operations mess up display partially, but you got it seriously.

I'd suggest you to disconnect the VGA completely from both the ends , and then connect it back .

If still not worked, you may need to uninstall and reinstall your display driver .

Done. Nothing happened.

Apparently there is no other way left but doing a clean install . I asked for more help in this thread, please wait a bit ... there may be any alternative way to fix it .

Don't say that

Have you tried:

• Toggling your "Personalize" settings (e.g. resolution, themes, Aero on/off)?
• Reinstalling your graphics driver?

 

[cybertron989]

Yeah i did....!!! many times

 

[gregrocker]

What about the Repair Install?

 

[cybertron989]

If i had a windows disk. i would have performed a clean install till now

 

[Arc]

If you have the OEM manufacturers system recovery disk, you can go for a factory restore, obviously after making all your data backed up secured .

 

[gregrocker]

Where did you get Win7? What is the version and bit-rate? How is it activated?

 

[cybertron989]

Vendor gave me installed with the pc. 32 bit

 

[gregrocker]

What is the licensed version printed on the COA sticker on machine? Is it 32- or 64-bit?

Is the Product Key readable? Back it up now as it is good for the life of the machine, for Repair Installs and Reinstalls.

 

[cybertron989]
