Thank you.

It sounds like you've been using a Knoppix CD/DVD successfully for a while, but now it gets stuck. What do you see instead of the icons? - perhaps some leftover text from the boot process? Hopefully, nothing has changed for the worse in your hardware, which can happen sometimes.

Also, it's possible that the disk has been compromised; it may only need to be cleaned, or it may have to be replaced. There is a self-test built in at boot time - just wait for the big penguin on the screen, then type in
knoppix testcd
or
knoppix testdvdThat test will tell the story, I think!

Cheers!
