Problem with Windows XP Home. PC boots and seems to
start normally but presents the user with a blank blue
screen, no desktop icons and no task bar. Right clicking
anywhere in the desktop does nothing. The task manager
can be started and applications ran???

Starts in Safe mode just fine (with "normal desktop"),
returning to last known good configuration results in the
same results

Anybody seen this/What are we missing?

Many TIA,
Desmond

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to
Item No. 195 (right column), click on "Restore Desktop Icons and Taskbar".

Install the registry fix, then reboot your computer.
