Disappeared Pictures

[Brentino]

I came home tonight and turned on my computer and all of my desktop items were blank.  I think something like this happened right before I turned it off but fixed it, some how.  The items usually have icons but they are just blank.  I cannot figure out how to get them back to normal.  I figured out how to get the "main" items back to the desktop with the pictures but I can't get the rest.  Any help would be very nice.

Here's a picture of what I mean:

And what version of Windows might this be ? ?

That looks like XP SP2.

My computer is a Gateway, Microsoft Wimdows XP Edition verson 2002.  It is Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. Gateway model 2002, Home edition, Sevice Pack 2.

If I run the program, Simcity 4, and then while it's starting up I shut it down, the icons will appear.  Is there any other way?

Try and do a system restore back to a date prior to when this started happening...
Have you installed any new software/hardware lately ? ?
