It might depend on what hardware you have. In my IIsi with a 13" RGB monitor
I don't have that kind of problem. It could be one of those weird things you
solve rebuilding the desktop, quite profesiobnal approach like taping the
carbutator with a screwdriver!!! Nevertheless what I have observed is that
apparently Word 5.1kills the finder when it starts and when it exits, that
would explain why all the icons on thedesktop disappear. It could have some-
thing to do with your problem but I am just wild guessing.

Does anybody has an idea of what is really going on?
