Hii, See the cursor status if its a pointer or is showing a hourglass. this
will show that if sometihngs is loading or if its idle.
(1) Scan ur system for viruses and worms always use a good antivirus and
antispyware software. here are few.
http://safety.live.com (online scanner)
www.windowsonecare.com (ms antivirus)
www.freeav.com (avera antivir)
www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx (windows
defender)
(2) Hotkeys should be still accessible press windows button and R for runbox
type eventvwr.msc for event viewer see the error logs.
(3) Analyse the error logs from event viewer to identify the problem.
(4) Open taskmanager to see if explorer.exe is loaded if its not then run
explorer.exe from taskbar new or windows run. this shd load explorer as
shell and show ur taskbar and icons.
(5) If u just want the interface back and dont have any settings like
outlook or anything configured then create a new user by typing control in
windows run.
Hope this helps...,
Umesh Thota.
