XP Crash!!! No Icons or Taskbar on Desktop

Guest

I am running XP Pro SP2. When I boot the windows startup screen hangs for
about two minutes then the welcome screen hangs for about thirty seconds. My
desktop is gray in color and there are no icons or task bar. I can hit ctrl.
alt. delete to get the task manager but that is about it. It seems to finally
start ok by the sounds of my scanner. This all started when it wouldn't boot
so I repaired it using my XP disc. I went into the files via another
partition and noticed all the SP files folder was empty. I have since
replaced the files but still have no desktop. Please help if you can.
Thanks, Bob

Try restarting in safe mode and using system restore to go back to
known working point

When I boot into safe mode there is just a black screen with no icons or
taskbar. I can get into system restore but there are no restore points. Any
ideas? Is there any way I can save this without losing my activations and
subscriptions for XP and my virus software?

Thanks, Bob

Try deleting the 2 following key in the regestry and then reboot the
workstation:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\explorer.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\iexplorer.exe
