Well my mate has recently has had his windows go dodgy and it brings nothing up just the desktop background. He can only use programs like msn using task manager. He tried reformattin but F11 dont work and system restore never stored any restore points.

Anyone else had any problems like this? could it be windows blinds or something :s anyways here's a screeny. Ta for any info...

Did you delete all his icons for a joke then when you found out that it ****ed his PC up you come and posted here?

I was going to say get double glazing.

Ahh, bullcrap that's another warning for swearing.

Well windows explores not working, I had the same problem from installing a dodgy driver one time.

The way I moved around my PC is to try and open up a program (Word) or somthing and navigate from the 'Openfile' box.

But how I sorted it was to restore my PC, ask him if he has installed anything?

well temporarily... bring up taskmanager > new task > "explorer"..

shud start it again. else try running is safemode (hold F7 on reboot til u get a menu), then run scandisk checkin for errors. mite repair anythin obvious.

seein as he was ok to try format, uninstall anythin and everythin he can and is willing to sacrifice til it works :P

surely if sys restore is runnable then there will b atleast one restore point. usually auto saves when new software is installed.
