Thanks to all who have responded-- I am going to look at all the suggestions, but before I received the helpful hints, I went to the ATI website and went through the list on how to set up windows 98-- I think everything was the same, but after I did that my desktop went back to normal. So, I think the prob was in the customize desktop section. I also found that there was wall paper on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Moti Azrad Musician & Piano-Tuner" <motia@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 12:23 PM Subject: Re: need help with desktop > Hi Joy, > > press f5 when you on your desktop > press right app key and arrow to arrange icons > press enter. > then, arrow and choose auto arrange. > It may solve your problem. > If not, you have to go to the control panel, by: > start, settings, control panel and choose display. > enter on the display tab and choose the desktop tab. > tab some times until you get customize desktop and press space bar. > tab to next and press enter. > then you will get a list of your icons, you havae to uncheck and to hear > Jaws says uncheck for every icon that you wish to leave on your desktop. > Icon that will be checked, will be removed from your desktop icon list. > then, tab to finish and tab to ok to close this dialog, tab more and press > ok. > it is done. > > I hope it helps you. > > Moti > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joy" <happyhappyjoyjoy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 7:58 PM > Subject: Re: need help with desktop > > > > My mother was over here using my computer last night, so I have no idea > > what > > has happened. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Robert Hebert" <roberthebert@xxxxxxxxx> > > To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 10:27 AM > > Subject: Re: need help with desktop > > > > > >> Have you recently enlarged your font size in the display settings in > > control > >> panel?
