| 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
