system restore gone bad

[Guest]

help! i did a system restore and now i have no icons, task bar and i can't
even right-click (among others)on the desktop. i am able to boot up. however
i still have my desktop background screen. i still can navigate on my
computer but i have to use task manager. i notic some files were damaged or
most likely missing drivers or registry. i also know that system restore did
not finish loading. what can i do?

Exactly how did you do this "System Restore." What date did you
restore to?

Hi,

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to launch Task Manager. Click File - New Task (Run...)
and enter the following command then click OK.

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Do you see "Undo my last restoration" as shown on the following page?
