Exclamation Few problems (tray icons, backgrounds)

Hi all, I have a few problems. The first problem is when I log in to windows, it deletes my background. No matter what I set it to, next time I log in, it changes it to an empty, black background. Resetting my background every time I log on gets very frustrating. My second problem is, when I log on to Windows, I have no icons in the system tray. My volume control icon is gone, my Norton Antivirus icon is gone, etc. The only icons that appear are ones from programs I manually start. Can anyone help?

Oh, also, at seemingly random times, Windows will set my normal cursor (the arrow) to the 4-way arrow thing, the one that looks like a cross. Every time it does this, I have to go to the Mouse area of the Control Panel and manually fix it. This also gets very frustrating. Another problem related to this is when Windows sets my keyboard repeat rate very low, meaning I will have to go into the Control Panel and manually fix the problem. Again, this is very frustrating.

Hi Tony311,

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay.

You have a very strange problem indeedie...to me anyway.

First we're going to rule out malware. Could you please follow the instructions in the Prework link in my signature and post the corresponding logs and we'll do our best to get to the botom of this.
