Restart your computer and keep pressing F8, F9, or F10(I think it is F10 if not try the others) while it is coming back on this will take you to a setup screen where you can choose a bunch of options safe mode...and stuff like that....select the one that says last known good config. This should fix it.

no good.. it didn't work

ok so i did a restore , and i even re-installed my whole startup menu.. but still when i turn the computer on it will come one but nothing is on my screen except my background.. i have no icons, no sys tray and no start button..

Mine done the same thing a while back. Can't remember exactly what I done to fix it. Give me some time to try too remember and I'll try to get back to you.

I believe this will help. Open system configuration utility under "tools" in the help and support center. It should give the instructions to take you back to where you should be.

[Batpuff]

do a control alt del and then end the task on explorer.exe is a 99 on my cpu usage., that will end that and it might give everything back to ya

[crazytaxidriver]

haha.. i have to do that just to get to everything else.. that's not the main problem.. tha'ts just an aggrivation compared to what is goin on lol..


I have everything and i can stilll use everything.. but like i said i have to do alt ctrl del. then open a new task just to get to my programs... and that's aggrivating..

The only other thing else I know to do is reformat your hard drive and reinstall everything.

Just save any files you want to keep and do a full restore make your pc like it was when it was new.
