Icons, taskbar, and start menu disappears - Explorer.exe

Whenever I click on My Computer, everything disappears.

I can still open taskmgr but thats it.

Any ideas?

I would suggest 1st downloading the latest updates to your virus and spyware
softwares, run a full system scan.

Do a thorough check for malware, following all of the steps at one of these

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

pcbutts1 is definitely someone to ignore or otherwise stay away from.

Nah, he's just a moron that doesn't know when to leave someone alone. I
have a right and responsibility to defend my name each time he posts it
or about me.

And yet you post my name and make accusations about me in EVERY one of
your posts - I told you, when you want me to stop defending my name you
just need to stop posting using my name in your messages. As long as you
post my name anywhere in your message I have a right and responsibility
to defend it.

Why don't the two of you grow up and simply ignore each other?.

Lythos has repeatedly stated he'd be willing to drop the whole thing if PC
would simply remove any/all references to him in his posts, including the
sig.

As yet, PC has not complied.

Draw yer own conclusions.

Simple! Leythos could very easily change his ID and ignore PC.

Re: Icons, taskbar, and start menu disappears - Explorer.exe

Leythos was stalking me way before I put his name in my sig, at least 3
years before. That was reason I put up a disgusting website about him and
added him to my sig. So the fact that his name is in my sig has nothing to
do with it. The guy is obsessed with me. He is sick. He does not offer any
help in any of these groups, all he does is look my posts and reply to them.


--
Ignore posts made by the person called Leythos, he is a stalker who's been
obsessed with me for years ever since I spurned his advances towards me.
