The icons on my desktop are coming out with an outline of the desktop background colour, instead of blending onto my desktop. I have not changed any settings on my PC.

I've tried that but the situation is still the same. what could have caused the change as I did not change the settings and noone else uses my PC, also I have noticed that I am failing to Restore my system to an earlier date, it goes through the restoration process normally, then when you login it tells you "Unable to complete restore"
