I also just installed the new Java update on my XP machine. No problems here.
I've heard of this "all icons are missing" problem. But I forgot the solution.
Here's several possible solutions.

icons" (#195).

Subject: [lit-ideas] computer problems
Any computer geniuses out there? I've suddenly lost all contact with my Start Menu and
all icons on the Desktop. The only programs I can access are Internet Explorer, Outlook
Express, and MSN Messenger. I can only access them through the Task Manager program by
hitting the Ctrl +Alt + Delete keys. But Task Manager won't allow me to open any other
programs or copy them or print them, nothing, de rien, nada, zilch, zero. But don't
worry, I regularly back up my files -- yeah, weep, weep, weep.
Yesterday I downloaded a Java compiler from Sun Systems. It was last night before I
realized I couldn't access the Start Menu. I doubt the download corrupted my files, but I
suppose that's possible. It might be a virus -- in which case you might all have it
now -- but at least you'll be able to curse me, it doesn't seem to affect Internet shit --
so that it can be spread?? -- very clever. I use XP Professional. I tried to reinstall
it, but the computer doesn't seem to know there's a CD player connected to it. Any
suggestions?
