U say that everything is fine in safe mode ? Can u see th icons on ur desktop in normal mode? If not, then u hv probably lost ur display driver. Try booting into safe mode and reinstall th drivers for ur display card.

I dont know if this will work - Tweak UI for XP has under the Repair section an option "rebuid icons". This seems like something that may help.

Why don't you use the system restore feature that comes with XP

try a Repair Install - you get corrupted files updated and this maintains your current setup.
