Icons are missing from computer screen - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

Did you get rid of them? Look in the trash. You can restore them from there. If not you can try a system restore back to when you first noticed the icons missing. If that doesn't work, you could restore your computer back to the factory image.

Assuming you are using Windows you can find that out by clicking on your window Icon normally in the bottom left corner of your screen. Right click on the My Computer Icon. Then click on manage. A screen will pop up you'll want to go to devices. A list will pop. On that list you should be able to find it. Look for words like vision, eye or optical. You might have a cam by it's just disabled or the driver myth be missing. Hope this helps!
