Delete key doesn't work. I brought up the Display Properties and only odd thing I can see is, Background Pattern is empty and Edit Pattern button is gray out. All other seems ok. Maybe this Background Pattern has something to do with my problem.

Did someone pasted a desk top screen shot on your machine??. Try click and hit delete.

No error messages. Mouse does not function on the desktop at all, so, right mouse click on the desktop doesn't do anything. But if I open any application, it will work within those applications....  Sean Martin wrote:  Sounds like a problem I was having with our Exchange server awhile back due to low virtual memory.

I can not click icons on the desktop using the mouse. I can tap trough using keyboard and access them, but mouse click doesn't work. I can, however, use mouse clicks on Start menus. Mouse click just would not work on desktop icons. Also, it won't work on newly created icons, neither. Anyone seen this behavior before?? Thanks.
