I have Microsoft XP Professional, and I did a very smart thing and did
a system restore that didn't work. When my computer restarted after
the restore was complete, my wallpaper came up, but no taskbar and no
icons. I could call up task manager using Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open
things like Word through that, but the taskbar and icons never
reappeared. I tried to restore to the Last Known Good Configuration
(or whatever it's called), but nothing changed. Nothing I tried
worked, so I reinstalled Windows XP using my disc. Once again, nothing
changed. I also ran a c-prompt on safe mode of "chkdsk". When it
checked it found a few problems, but couldn't fix them because it
hadn't been run with /F (fix). So I tried to run it with that, and it
wouldn't let me. When I restarted and ran checkdisk upon restarting
the computer normally, checkdisk didn't find any problems...and still
wouldn't bring up icons and taskbar. Any ideas on what else I can do?
