Hi all,
I have a problem with a Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.
Yesterday the computer was rebooted and when the user logged on discovered
that the desktop environment (wallpaper, icons, taskbar, traybar) had gone.
The mouse moves, but no click or drag has any effect (no selection
indicator, no contextual menu).
Windows seems to work, as soon as you open your applications through Vista's
Application Manager (office applications, internet explorer, etc).
Note that:
- windows runs smoothly in Safe Mode (no problem here). I already tried a
selective start excluding all user programs and non-MS services, but it
doesn't solve the problem).
- In normal mode the "lost desktop environment" problem affects every user
(not a profile matter, it seems)
- If you try to launch explorer.exe from application manager you get an
error (cannot access the file specified or permission denied): I already
checked permissions and they are ok.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance,
