icons of the screen display only a single program how to do this back to the way it was?
need help please to complete the project.
It is not clear what you're asking. If you mean a given icon only points to a single program, this is the way it is supposed to work. If you mean that all your different desktop icons are pointing to the same program, it would be a problem and the likely result of a virus, or a sort of malware. Here are a few things to check.
Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

My Thunderbolt screen has only 1 thunderbolt port, how can I Garland with 1 single port?
It has two ports Thunderbolt. One is connected to the cable, the other is on the back of the screen. If you can't find the Thunderbolt port, you will have the Mini DisplayPort in the screen version. It has three USB ports on the back. The Thunderbolt display has three USB ports, a FireWire port, an Ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt port on the back.
(The Mini DisplayPort version cannot be connected in a string.)

What is blue screen and what to do and how to fix this with out taking back to factory setting and reinstalling Vista
When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.
If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.
If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.
