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?
