Desktop completely blank

[manitm16]

Hi folks,

I have an urgent problem on my hands. When I booted my pc in winxp, it booted ok, but the desktop and taskbar are completely missing. In other words the desktop is completely blank. With this blank desktop I can do nothing such as reinstall xp etc. Please suggest a solution to this problem. With regards, manitm16

[bobbyraw]

Is this is an Network environment? With a domain? What most likely happened is your profile reset. Check your "Document and Settings" folder and see if you see a folder that has your normal.domain such as BSmith.WORGROUP. If so you profile reset and you can force the fix in the Registry. If this is the case don't worry, you haven't lost any data yet.

Best

Manitm16,
The log looks clean, is your desktop still blank? If so, I would boot into safe mode, create another user account, then boot normally, and log in with the new user.

Let me know if the desktop is blank on the new account as well. If you have a desktop again with the new account let me know what information you would like from your old account and I will help you retrieve that information.

Hi AJZ,
A reply to my last posting will be much appreciated. Thanks.

you should download windows latest updates to get to SP2 first ,then get and run spybot S&D ,and ad-aware ,links to them in my signature

HELLO
You could try a system restore to an earlier time when the pc was ok.
Then run a virus / spyware / mailware to see if you have any nasties.
That maybe worth a try

so you have nothing on the desktop .try this , ALT+CTRL+DEL ,taks manager should open up .go to file /new task ,type in , explorer.exe ,you might get the desktop back ,you might not, if you do get to the taks manager but the explorer.exe didn't work type in this
%SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
