Computer desktop goes blank? then returns.?

My computer is only used by me. Doesn't get any spyware, viruses, adware - if any. I stay off b.s websites and I don't download anything but music - if that, I scan everything with AVG.

Well, lately my computer has been running funky... The screen will crash to the desktop, but nothing appears on the desktop. My background is black (so it just looks like a black screen, no icons - with my mouse.)

I ran AVG free virus scan, anti spyware. I run spybot, adaware. Pretty much all I run.

My question is why? And how do I fix this crap. Any good spyware programs I can get for free that will beat the crap out of anything?

Thanks! :)

Well. This is hard to give a solution from this far distance. But let me try. The solution is for windows XP.

Reboot your computer in safe mode ( press F8 while rebooting and then choose the safe mode option).

Go to run command and enter "msconfig" to run.

Now open the "services" tab in system configuration utility. It will list the available services. Uncheck the "Windows firewall/Internet connection sharing(ICS)" and the apply. Click OK to reboot and now let reboot in normal mode.

Check whether it reboots in OK condition or not.

However there may be other methods to solve this problem but I give you the easiest one.

Please let me know whether it works or not.

with best wishes. :)
