Re: disappearing desktop

This generally has to do with display drivers. If you have recently updated
them (especially via MS updates) try a rollback.

Hi there,

I have an XP machine here, and it boots up just into where you see the
background and nothing more.

If I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, I can get programs running and the desktop up
temporarily by putting "explorer.exe" in the New Task method. Then the
desktop will disappear.

I've AVG virus scanned it, SpyBotted, and Ad Awared it, done Hijack This,
all to no avail... Also, I did an SFC/ Scannow and all the files are
there.

There's something more to it....what?

Thanks,

Gordon
