  • The desktop icons have all disappeared, moved to the taskbar.

    My desktop icons have disappeared.  I tried to do a right click on the desktop, but nothing happens, no pop - up menu or anything like that.  The desktop items have been moved to the taskbar background, so I have access to all my icons, but I'd like to come back to the office.  I tried to drag items on the desktop from the taskbar on the desktop, but nothing happens.  It's as if the desktop is locked.  Time virus scan clean.  Windows updated last night, but I don't know if that is related.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    See you soon.

  • Cause of Smartphones Blackberry Desktop 6.0 blackBerry Roxio Creator 2009 to become non-functional

    Dear RIM,

    It seems that for your BB Desktop software to be as functional as we would both, you have integrated some components that cause my Roxio Creator 2009 Suite to become completely non-functional.

    If I uninstall your software and repair the following Roxio, it works well again.

    Reinstall your software breaks the suite Roxio once again, and a repair/reinstall of the suite so that your software is installed cannot be place that Roxio is most recognized as being installed properly or he sees components that prevent the installation happen.

    I tried to uninstall BB Desktop 6, fix Roxio and then return to BB Desktop 5, but after the installation of BB Desktop 6 my ability to synchronize my device (contacts, calendar, Notepad, etc) fails systematically.

    I wouldn't mind, except for the fact that my paid software is ineffective by your free software and the only potential ways that they coexist are for me to purchase and upgrade my Roxio suite.

    I do not expect you to solve my situation, I don't think you can really, but rather I am you advise potential problems that you may want to inform other people who download the software which can have situations similar to mine.

    Thanks for a great, if sometimes frustrating, range of products.

    p.s. It's rather remote of you to not allow a method for me to send to you directly, but rather use this forum for 'voice' my concerns. Can't really call this committed customer service.

    Hi Ratenef,

    Sorry to hear that you have some difficulties with the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I would recommend the rest of this article and do a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop software and then reinstall the version you prefer. http://bbry.lv/aZw0Yn

  • The desktop icons have overlapping window?

    Right now, the problem I have right now, has to do with my desktop icons.  Not too long ago, I used a remover to office arrow and it messed with my registry.  I don't know why, but it ended anyway does not.  Now, instead of the arrow, I have a WEIRD window looking icon overlapping my icons. Its like a box with an x in the upper right corner and three icons above the other three icons in the window itself.  It is smaller than a large icon and bigger than a small icon. Which means that when I chose little, he rides my ACTUAL together icon with this junk. It's pretty boring.  I'll see if I can't get an accurate picture. Thank you guys

  • Desktop icons have all disappeared completely and cannot add new ones to the desktop display.

    I use Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 on a Toshiba individual 5 months old Pro.
    Everything works well except all my desktop icons disappeared last week for example Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer, etc.
    I have activated since the "Desktop >" section of the taskbar and can now access all the icons in a vertical list.
    If I try to add a new icon to real desktop screen does not appear, but it does not produce a copy that can be chosen amongst the "Desktop >" list on the taskbar.
    How can I display the icons on the new real desktop?

    Right-click on the desktop, click on the "View" menu

    In the submenu at the bottom, there is an entry named "show desktop icons".
    Click here, if it is not already.

    Return your icons?
    Please let us know how it goes.
