No Icons on Desktop !! HELP !

My sister's computer has a very weird problem.

The PC boots up okay, until it displays the wallpaper, and then it
stops.

No icon, no taskbar, no nothing.

I can move the mouse pointer, but clicking on the mouth, whether it be
the right button or left button, nothing.

Hitting the "ctrl-alt-del" keys also nothing. No task manager,
nothing.

The PC just stuck on the wallpaper. NOTHING.

So I reboot the PC, and go into the safe mode.

It boots until the agp400.sys (or something about AGP) and then it
stops.

Nothing, absolutely NOTHING.

I don't know what is wrong.

Is it the HD? Or is it the software?

Is there a possibility that a virus or malware cause this problem??

Please help.

The PC specs as follow:

P4 machine. 2.6GHz. 2GB of RAM and 160 GB of HD.

Thanks advance for your help !!

Aside: I'm not getting drawn on that rubbish ROFL - a tad more subtlety
needed for a bite

Instead of Safe Mode try the Last Known Good Configuration (on the same menu).

Did your sister just installed a new graphic card/video card? I suggest you
to unplug it and use the integrated one and try to boot your machine or try
the last known good configuration or even perform a system restore. You can
check with the OEM of your devices to see whether everything should be
working together and whether all the drivers are right.

What Operating System is she using??

If you are by chance using Vista, Right click on the screen, select
"View"and left click on "Show Desktop Icons". This will turn the Icons
off and on but won't affect the task bar.

Now, bump the bottom of your screen with the cursor. Your task bar
should appear, but will disappear if you move the cursor off it . With
the cursor on the now open tool bar, right click and you will get pop-up
window, left click on properties. This will open a window "Start Menu
Task Bar Properties" The "Auto Hide Task Bar" should be unchecked. now
click on "Apply" then "OK"

This task bar bit works also in XP.

Let us know if this works for you.

To get your desktop icons back in XP, right click anywhere on screen,
select "Arrange Icons by" then left click on " Show Desktop Icons"

Wouldn't you think that anyone that can find this many groups to cross-post
to could find his answer on Google. The OP is troll.

Read a few of these to start off. I can't help you anymore, I
use older OS's, but I don't think you're a troll.
