When I started up my computer my start menu and icons weren't on my screen. I restarted and logged on it as a new user several times; they still are not there. I don't even see a tiny gray line for my taskbar, and when I press Ctrl Alt and Delete. There's nothing under the file tab except to exit out of the Task Manager. Help me please!!!!!!!!!

Has someone taken a snapshot of your desktop, modded it and set it as the background? :lol:

Try changing your desktop background to something else.

I love doing that.

What is OS, and no no one has taken a picture of my computer and saved it as my screensaver. How do I get to the control panel to adjust my screen saver; without my start menu and taskbar?

Oh, it's Windows Xp and it also says Vista capable. I tried to find it when I clicked on the Task Manager. However; when I clicked on My Computer the Control Panel task was not on there. My start menu does not appear when I push the Windows button or when I push Esc and Ctrl.

Hi,

Can I ask how you got your task bar and start menu back on as I have exactly the same problem and it's driving me mad, I can't get into control panel due to lack of start menu.

Regards

Shirley
