I can't move the icons on my desktop around.

[Heather C.]

Ok...
Last night, my computer was fine.
I fell asleep with it on, and woke up around 5 AM and shut it down. I started it back up a few hours later, and my icons were all lined up on the side of the screen. I tried moving them back, but when I do... It just puts the icons I tried to move in another's spot and sends one down to the bottom of the line. If that makes sense. I can't get them to go anywhere but in the line they are already in down the side of the screen. I can move them around within that line... But yeah... nowhere else...

I'm so confused. Help?

Heather C......Try this......right click on a open area on your desktop......choose "arrange icons by" ..........then put a tick in front of ...."Align to grid"   .......now you should be able to move your icons around as you wish......
Note....if there is a tick in front of "auto arrange" remove it
hope this helps
