Disappearing Desk Top Icons

by chicago57 . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

I have an HP Desktop Pavillion A6603, with Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, Intel Pentium(R) Dual Cpu E2220 @ 2.40 GHz-2.40GHz respectively when I put the computer to sleep, or leave it unattended and it goes to sleep on its own my desktop dissappears including the taskbar so I can’t get to the start button to shutdown normally.This forces me to shut down with a hard boot and restart.This closes Windows abnormally and it attempts to restart with a choice screen of”TO start Windows Normally Press any Key”.Additionally, when my computer starts up it is slow now and I have two desktop.ini icons showing on my desk top that are slightly faded. I also have a graphics pack I put on from a third party source that I believe is conflicting with Vista, when I try to uninstall it, The installation Wizard Window opens saying there is a problem and until HP finds a solution it will notify me. I called HP but they are not much help yet or just seem uninterested all they di was try to reset the timeing on how long my Destop should stay open until it goes to sleep.This has been going on for a week now and I have done a system restore. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
