When I boot the pc, there are no desktop icons. There is no error message. The pc is a Win98 machine. Can anyone help me.
 
there might be several solutions to your problem. one of the simplest is this: right-click on any part of your desktop if you can, then select properties, go to effects tab and uncheck hide icons when... you might also want to uncheck view my active desktop... under the web tab.

hope this helps. peace! [peace]

Do you get icons in safe mode? What about your taskbar, do you get that?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
