I have a question about All of my desktop icons just became corrupted - what do I do?:

When I reboot, all my icons turn into black squares and my mouse freezes. I believe that's a bona fide "crash." This occurred after I attempted to adjust my monitor resolution settings. It has happened before and I fixed problem using boot disk and going through safe mode and uncluttering my ram. Now when I can't get to safe mode.I'll enter it when highlighted but I just get a:prompt all over again. Working through the help file I was informed that command.com, extract.? and ?./?(my ?'s) could not be found. Do I have a corrupted boot disk. I tried it on two different ones so i tend to think not. I have been unusually active lately downloading often to desktop lots of info concerning our recent debacle. I have also since downloaded juno and realplayer. If i could get to safe mode , I would uninstall realplayer, move new files to a floppy or at least off the desktop, and uninstall juno all in that order(I have another ISP). Thoughts?Suggestions?
