Desktop disappears and comes back again?
Every time windows xp starts in a couple of seconds about 40 secs the desktop disappears (icons, taskbar) and then it reappears, this started to happen when i put my speaker to the sound card to have 5.1.
I also am having problems with my USR 56K modem, every now and then it stops responding but the connection is still there, I just recently bought it so I think it might be faulty. |

this is total speculation, but it could be explorer (the shell) crashing, and restarting. You might make sure you have the latest service pack installed and/or latest version of IE--if not then do it, if so then maybe a overlay install of windows'll fix it.
But that wouldn't explain the issues with the peripherals. |

Try to uninstall and then reinstall your display drivers. Whenever i update my display drivers, the first time i reboot the desktop flashes black for a couple seconds, but then does not happen again, so it could very well be a driver issue.

Hey mikezel, I haven't updated my Nvidia drivers yet so if I update it this will fix that issue?

Its very possible that it would. Besides, its always a good thing to have updated drivers anyways.
