Start menu, taskbar, and desktop icons do not startup

[Guest]

Hi,

Can anyone help? I ran Spybot and deleted all identified problems. Now
when I reboot, and anytime I startup, I get to blank wallpaper with nothing
else. I can run task manager to get to all apps OK, but this is not very
useful.

I tried running from a previous known good state, but nothing changed. I
also tried starting up in safe mode, but only get a black screen.

I'd appreciate any advice you can give...
