Computer Help

Is there anyone on here that is good with computers? I downloaded a new virus protection program (just a trial version) and restarted my computer and everything and now all that shows up is my background picture. The task bar at the bottom and all the icons dont show up. Im hopin someone has a way to fix this. I already tried hitting F* on start up and using "last good configuration" and wanted to try a system restore but I cant even get to a screen to do one.

do ctrl alt delete. this should get u to the task manager window. click on file, then new task/ run. type in explorer and hit enter. might help...

if "explorer" doesnt work try "explorer.exe"

yea, for some reason your explorer.exe is not running properly.

JoJoYZF · 05-01-2008, 09:57 PM

Just tried that and it said that explorer and explorer.exe werent found?

run msconfig and be sure that it is initializing on startup.

I managed to find a way to get to the system restore through the msconfig and it worked perfectly and put shit back to normal. Thanks guys for helping the computer illiterate.
