Does the icons appear. If not then right click on ur desktop

-->Arrage icons-->show desktop icons.

Does the blue background only appears around icons? If yes then go in properties on my computer than in advance--> settings(performance) . In that tick mark all the options.

Tell me if that works.

@chirag

why didn't you go prop'ly with the post. he mentioned that boots ok with all the desktop icons. i think after closing any window, the icons are not appeared. m i right?.......

try to adjust the refresh rate. if not... reinstall your VGA driver..

@ warrior - he havn't mentioned that the icons r not appearing after the window closes. So how would i know?

I was also giving u a suggestion of changing Display Driver. Check ur ram. Must be loose. Happened with me once.
