Re: At Boot nothing comes up but desktop background



Hi Randy,

Do the 3 finger salute and bring up Task Manager at boot. When the Task
Manager is showing, click on File, then click New Task (Run) and type in
Explorer and click OK.

Once Explorer is started and everything is booted up, locate your
operating system Hard Drive in My Computer and right-click on it and click
Properties. Click Tools. Click Check Now. Check both Options. Click Start
and click Yes to Schedule and reboot to run Chkdsk.

Note: If Explorer is missing where it can't run, then type in msconfig and
click OK. Click Expand File and restore Explorer.

I am glad you put your two cents in. I will certainly check into the
"Get
Data Back" utility. I believe, now that you mention it, when I was
looking
through products months ago I saw a Symantec product (I don't recall the
name
of it) that does data restoring. If you have an opinion on whether the
runtime is better than the symantec I would appreciate any input you can
give
me about that.
Thanks for your two cents, which is actually worth alot more than that!

It looks like you've already got more information than you needed but I
thought I would throw in my two cents. Even after a full system
restore has been done it still may be possible to recover some of the
pictures that were on the drive before the restore. I personally use
(and promote) a utility called "Get Data Back" written by runtime
software (www.runtime.org). For Windows XP you would want the NTFS
version. I've used it on hard drive so currupt that they appeared
useless and was able to recover files from more than two reformats
prior.

Just my two cents!
Hope that helps =)

Hello all, I have almost the same problem. I was using the computer
online yesterday and Mcafee said I had a PUP so I agreed and let Mcafee
do it's thing. It came up about 5 times with the same message so I
agreed everytime. when I got finished with what I was doing and closed
the program I was working in I had no icons or taskbar. I can access
my programs by using ctrl,alt,delete and using task manager but that is
the only way. Everything seems to be working fine that way but I have
no desktop only my background. If I look in my windows program I see a
list of about 47 files that look like this $ntuninstalkb873339${2}
these are located in the windows file listed first. Can anyone give me
any suggestions as to what to do. I have a lot to lose if I reformatt
my harddrive, So please help. Thank you in advance,Randy
