Icons appear and disappear!

[nickcrusher]

Help! I switch on my computer and it starts up like normal. However, after everything starts up, the icons and the start menu disappear, only to reappear seconds later, and disappear again. This now means that I cannot function my computer and open programs properly anymore.

Any suggestions? sigh. .

Can you try doing a System Restore to a few days before this problem started?
