Hey, I just BOUGHT a new computer. It's Windows XP, all went well for the first day. Now the desktop icons are not LOADING, and neither are the icons the at start sidebar menu. Please help!!athor023.......  Dont even mess with it contact the vendor that sold it to you and have them fix the issue ....... It will be at no cost ....unless someone has been playing around and caused the issue..
There is a proper anti virus installed on this MACHINE and active ....... and some sort of firewall ....I hope .

dl65  Are you kidding me? There's nothing at all that I can do to RESOLVE this issue? That is some big BS...just to clarify, i mean the pictures aren't loading. i can still click the link and everything, but the pics for them aren't there.Unless you've done something to screw it up I'd take dl65's advice and return the computer from where you got it.  I know it's a lot of BS but if you got a lemon it's better to replace it now instead of messing around TRYING to fix it and run out the warranty.  THAT'S real BS.
