My son just downloaded XP Home Edition SP2, and suddenly IE, OE, AIM, MS Messenger, and other programmes that access the Internet boot but immediately disappear! The Internet connection is active (FTP and IRC work) and I've tried both Firewall ON and Firewall OFF. Task Manager shows the progs are still active, but they're invisible!
Anybody ever seen anything like this????

Do you use Active Desktop? If so there is an option (I think), to hide all desktop icons. Try turning active desktop off and see if your icon reappear, then turn it back on and right-click the desktop and select properties, then hunt around until you find the option to show or hide your icons (it may be an option off the right-click menu itself).
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
