Windows ME desktop
I cannot get anything on my desktop to work. I have all my
icons on there, but when I click on one, nothing happens. It doesn't hilight the name, and it doesn't give me an error message. It just does nothing. I have to go to start and then click on a program to get anything to open up. Also, windows is really slow. I have a virus scanner, but it says there is no virus. |
