No .The only icon on my destop is at the top right of the screen.
It says Desktop and the menu it brings up is add widgets etc.
what now?

Either you aren't serious or you have a great installation problem!
Your desktop should look like this: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/File:Mageia- ... en-006.jpg
If not, check your ISO: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installation ... _Integrity
And follow this how to: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installation ... _a_Live_CD

It must have been a bad installation because it crashed after a few weeks!
I have now reinstalled it and found where to turn on the numlock key,where you said it was.
Thanks for the help .
