Hello, I've come across a strange problem.
Whenever I start Minecraft, the start button and the bar disappears. If I close Minecraft, all I see is my wallpaper. There are no desktop icons either.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.

If that doesn't work, it might be problem whether with your driver or graphic card. Say what card do you use. That means that explorer.exe crashes, causing the bar and icons to go away. You may fix that by doing: Ctrl+Alt+Delete - Task Manager - New task - explorer.exe(it won't fix it for good, just give the icons and bar back)
And everything should be back working.


Thanks, the quick fix worked. My graphics care is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Driver is nvd3dum.dll version 8.15.11.8655.

Also, I noticed that the problem only occurs when I press F11 (fullscreen). What I did was right click the taskbar and then properties, then auto-hide the taskbar and then ok. Then whenever I play Minecraft, I maximize the window instead of making it fullscreen. Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

I have installed mods before, and also did try removing entire .minecraft folder and force updating. The game itself works, it's just that I only see my wallpaper after CLOSING Minecraft.

Anybody else with this problem?

Try restarting your computer, Start > Shutdown > Restart. I have never encountered an issue with Minecraft removing icons from the screen. You can always replace your Minecraft with a fresh clean copy.

Go to AppData > Roaming > .minecraft
Delete your .minecraft. Re-download Minecraft here. Run Minecraft, and hopefully this fixes it.
