Windows Vista Desktop Missing, Help

In my Vista PC on a Acer laptop, the desktop doesn't show any icons. Not even start menu. Only some folders like 'Documents' are shown. It happen suddenly as i restarted my laptop directly. My colleague adviced me how to go to task Manager and restore all that. I m able to do that but the problem is that i need to do that every time when i start it.

Theres also some problem occurred due to this in internet explorer 7. It locks up after every time i start the pc. I need help regarding these problems :(

Download Deckard's System Scanner (dss.exe) to your Desktop. Run dss.exe in that and do as the procedure follows. Before that close all the applications to control clashes between programs.

A log file will be generated after the scan. Post those logs from main.txt file. Also give what Extra.txt listed. You may probably find that the characters that can allowed upto a max limit execeeded.

If this is the case, halve the logs and make several posts
