Hey.
Ive got this Emachines system Im looking at for my Aunt.
It is running XP Home, was SP1, Ive changed that as one of my attempts.
So she tells me that out of the blue, all of her desktop icons disappeared. It is more than that though. Everything is gone from the Desktop, no icons, no Start Menu, no taskbar. Even right-clicking on the desktop yields nothing.
The only way to run anything is by using the 'new task' option from the Task Manager. From there Im able to run just about anything you can normally get to from Explorer. Ive have run the lates SpyBot, Ad-Aware, and AVG. Found about 65 entries between SpyBot and Ad-Aware, nothing with AVG.
I used Spybot to bypass all of the entries in the startup file.
Absolutely nothing has made a difference.
The computer runs fine in all applications, a little slow, but thats a 2 gig Cely for ya. Just no desktop.
Any help is appreciated.
Thx
