Phil,
Load windows and get to your normal desktop page. Left click, somewhere in
that space area
as if you were going to arrange icons and be sure that "Display Icons" is
checked. If it's
not click on that and it should within a few seconds put the icons back on...
Hope this helps.

Update:
F8 got me into safemode. I have two options: "Administrator" and "user".
Either I select goes to a black screen (except the "safemode" words in
the four corners). No reaction when I right click mouse.
I can,again "ctl-alt-del" to get the task manager and select restart or
shutdown.
At this point, I imagine the Dell system restore disc (will ask cust.
for it) is the next step?
