what video card do you have?
right click on the dektop and go to properties. see if there is an option for dual displays or tv out enabled. if so, turn it off.

I don't have that option but thanks anyway... (Still no icons)
Might also want to try hitting ctrl+alt+delete, selecting "run task", find "explorer.exe" in the windows folder and run it.
I can open the Desktop folder and see the icons, and files/folders, but not on THE desktop... ^^'
If your running xp. I believe there is a option under dislpay properties to hide icons. I am on a machine running 2000 atm so I am not sure of the exact location.
Doesn't work :(
what video card do you have. if it is a Nvidia card it probaly is set to use the tv as your primary monitor. but in order tro figure that out I need the card model

Do you have a taskbar?
When you right click the desktop and go to properties, are there two rectangles labeled 1 and 2?

I don't have a Nvida Video Card and there are no rectangles labelled 1 and 2... Guess i'm screwed :(
Ok, if you right click on the desktop, do you get a grey menu, one of which options says "display properties" ?

Just "Properties", and then when I click on that it has tabs saying "Themes", "Desktop", "Screensaver", "Appearance",
"Settings"
"Settings"
ok, click on the settings tab. there should be a button marked "advanced" click that. When that opens, click on the "adaptor" tab. that tab should list a graphics card type. please post that here so I know what card we are dealing with.

Right click on your desktop ----> Arrange Icons By ----> Show desktop icons
Plain and simple, I don't think it's a vid card prob.
