My computer starts up, displays a picture from the pics folder but does nt
have any icons o the screen. The pointer can vanish off to the left side of
the screen but can't see anything else.

Is the computer infected?

What can I do to get the computer working properly and not loose any of my
files?

I don't have any system restore disks or any of the disks that came with the
PC.

Can Anyone advise.
