When I boot-up my computer none of the Icons or the Taskbar/Start Menu show up... the only thing that appears is my mouse and the background.
i bring up the task manager via ctrl + alt + delete. Under processes explorer.exe is not running.
I then try to start it via a new task (file drop-down menu) but it will only run for a second...
I can see the start menu/ task bar flash up for a second.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

forgot to mention Im running windows XP sp2
Did you scan your computer for spyware, viruses ???
Also try deleting explorer and re copying explorer in the system folder and check if it works.
This may also happen because maybe the explorer may be corrupt over time.::cool:
Have you tried Safe mode? Or try windows repair.
i got so frustrated I copied my files to a external drive and restored the computer...
Thanks anyway!!!

boys i really need your help. i've got the same problem, when i log on i see only my background and my mouse. i have changed in 2 days for 4 times windows because i was thinking he needs a formating but nothing problem still appear.after 3 times or more when i din;t see nothing then in another start of windows everything is normal. i relly don't understand..i tried also repair windows or system restore or new drivers. i was thinking it was a virus or a errorin system. what is the worst is that in some moments when i have the "luck" to get on my notebook makes some noices, is the sound like in error but nothing appear. What it can be? some friend told me is bios problmes or RAM memory is damaged. what do you think?
Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software . This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes .
last night i discovered that i had a virus who dind't let windows explorer to function. i made an total format to all my disk and now it's looks good eveything:D
