  INFRARECORDER is! Try for yourself, when you start Infrarecorder and close the bottle, go take a look at 'See the desktop icons', it is not checked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder... He is not checked again.

  This Windows 7 "bug" is irritating for me since the beginning and now I found the cause: it is Infrarecorder that causes this problem.

  Test it and please let me know and spread the word :-)

  Hi reda

  Thank you for taking the time to help me with my problem.

  I tried method 1 and it did not help, I tried method 2 and I received an error message indicating that the sfc scan has failed and method 3, returned a negative virus detection.

  Out of pure frustration, I pulled the cables at the back of the computer and left the cable VGA/SVGA male PC to another port on the computer (at the bottom of the computer toward the upper left side), and it seems to have done the trick - why I do not know?

  Since the cable, the computer has been running at 100%, and the problem seems to have corrected itself.

  Thanks a lot again for your answer.

  Kind regards

• Desktop icons disappear

  Having just downloaded the latest Firefox update (I'm on the beta channel), as soon as it restarts, five of my desktop icons disappeared. I have more than 60 icons on my desktop and I don't remember what they are. Is it possible to know what icons have disappeared and the recovery please?

  Hi markyb208,

  I'm not sure what you have a problem with Firefox.

  Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 desktop. In a standard installation, Firefox will try to add an icon on the desktop, but it shouldn't do something to remove the icons.

• Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

  When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

  Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

  If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!

• Almost all my desktop icons disappeared, as well as their relevant applications. I was no longer in Classic view.

  I use Windows 7 Pro x 64.  Last night I ran the latest offerings from update, which has been a long process involving several dozen Articles.  When I turned on the computer this morning, almost all of my desktop icons disappeared, as well as their relevant applications.  I was no longer in the classical view; resembled a view of windows 8.  I tried the system restore, that wouldn't work and returned with an error message saying that HS has not been installed on the machine.  Cannot start in safe mode.  Do I have any options?  I have to re - install the OS?  Linux would prevent this kind of problem?  Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.  * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *
