QuoteSomething similar was happening to my girlfriends a while back, also a Dell, I got a can of compressed air and gave it a clean out and it's been fine ever since. That's the best case scenario.
It's a 1 year old Dell.
I get as far as typing in my password and then it says welcome and I get the blue screen with background with the welcome sign revolving but no icons come up.Any ideas?

Boot it up in safe mode, does it still happen then?

So, it's logging in but all your desktop icons are missing?
Probably a problem with explorer.exe - you could try a defrag, or running a check disk scan for hard drive errors (Start -> Run, type "chkdsk") I doubt safe mode will do anything, it's not likely to be a driver issue.
Tons of stuff on google for this in any case.
