2 computers FTW
 

i have a prob on my other comp, when it boots up and you log onto a user (XP) the desktop background comes up and nothing else, no start menu, no icons, ctrl-alt-delete doesnt even do anything...so try booting in safe mode right?...wrong, it wont even boot in safe mode....i'd give you more info but thats as far as i can get, anyone have any ideas?

edit: comp worked fine no more than 2 days ago (last time someone used it) and there were no new programs installed/anything downloaded

try a system restore.if that dosent work just do an install ontop of the exsisting install,and u wont lose ur files

system restore isnt working
restoring to 'last good configuration' doesnt work
booting with the cd in doesnt work, gives me the same problems

best buy $329 home system ftw :D

:werd: or you could get justin to move the files to another partition/harddrive and then wipe the drive with windows on it..

justin = in north(south???) carolina at teh moment
my pops got it fixed somehow, just need to recover some stuff for it to be back to normal

sounds like u had a virus and it was booting in a type of safe mode. u can still do stuff its just that explorer dosent load. you have to use task manager to start any programs. but since its fixed it dosent really matter now
