Desktop icons not responding
Hi I have recently configured an desktop PC and it has all the latest configuration. I have installed the windows 7 operating system and Intel core i3 processor. But from yesterday i have started facing an unusual problem and that is whenever i click on the icons of the system programs then they are not responding. The thing here is that any of the icon on my desktop is so not working properly. I have recently installed the windows 7 and earlier i was using the windows XP and during that period of time i have never received any such problem. Please help me to solve this problem and also let me know how to did it occur. Does anybody ever had face such kind problem if yes than how did you people got rid of it.
Re: Desktop icons not responding
According to there i something wrong in the operating system that you are using currently. As mentioned by you that you have not faced any such problems before and while you are using the windows XP and the problem was started when you started to use the windows 7. It clearly state that you have problem in the windows 7. It may have happen that you have com,minted mistakes while installing=g the operating system. So what you have to do here is that just try and check out the same thing with any of the other operating system and then see whether the same problem occurs again or not. I mean to say that uninstall the windows 7 an then install any other windows operating system and the determine whether the problem comes again, If yes than there is nothing wrong with windows 7 and if no then you have to again do the fresh installation of it because the earlier one was seemed to be corrupted. I hope that this will help you to solve your problem.

The thing is that there are several possibilities that can cause this problem, So if you will answer some of the questions of mine that it will be helpful for me to give the appropriate solution. Here are the questions that you need to answer:
- Is the application that you are trying to access are working fine without clicking o9n the icon?
- Is your mouse is working fine?
- Have you recently install any new software or application on your system?
- Do yo have anti virus installed on your system if yes than which one?
Re: Desktop icons not responding
I have gone through your problem and it seems to me that there is something wrong with the mouse that you are using. It may happen sometimes that the mouse is not functioning properly as per its requirements and starts to give problem. What you have to do here is that just unplug your current mouse and try out with any other mouse and check whether the problem still comes or not if not then there is definitely something wrong with you have to replace it as soon as possible. I hope that changing the mouse will help you to solve the problem.

I was also facing the same problem a few days back and even my desktop icons were not working properly. After testing i found that my system was affected by virus. So in this case it may happen that your system might have got affected by the viruses and that is the reason why you are facing this problem. The thin here is that virus have a tendency to corrupt the file in such a way that it disables the icons of many application. Now what you have to do here is that just scan you system with any updated anti virus and see to it whether the problem appears again or not. I hope if it is an virus related problem than the anti virus will definitely fix it.
