KDE Desktop not working

Fresh install 12.1 KDE desktop freshly partitioned drive.

Will NOT login to KDE desktop, can login to IceWM desktop.

When trying to login to KDE plasma, all I get is a small window on login background with HHD icon, config icon, Showdesktop Icon and something else cant tell it is blured. Nothing works, mouse clicks and hot keys do NOTHING, can ctrl+alt+backspace back to login screen. Login screen button to show login options shows 2 KDE plasma and 1 KDE plasma (failsafe) .

Tried unconditional updating packages in yast, renamed .kde4 folder, deleted .kde4 folder but no joy and also did complete reinstall from scratch same deal.

Any thoughts or sugjestions how to get it to start

That you say: ‘I did a fresh install’
Implies that you may have been using 12.1 before and decided to do a fresh install. Is that so?

Are you using the DVD to install? or the LiveCD?
Did you try the failsafe option from Grub rather than the kde login?
What graphics device do you have

You could try:
After logging in and you see the icon splash, try hitting Alt+SHIFT+F12

Hate to say it, but it sounds like your install media is defective.
