When I boot up XP I get a blank screen with no desktop or
taskbars...nothing
I can access most of my programs thru the task manager alt-ctrl-del
but unable to get windows explorer to function. Is this virus
related???

Thanks
 
I have the same problem. Scanned for virus & adware. Can run through task manager. Tried to use CD to reinstall and says there is a program that has not finished loading, quit and log out, log in and continue....but that does not work. Event log shows that there is a bad block. Ran scanware and think it was repaired, but not sure. Maybe that is where explorer is. How can I reload just explorer? If I can't reinstall/upgrade from the CD I am stuck

When I first got my computer and started it up I was amazed...20 seconds to load. Since then it has been downhill. Slower, slower, crash, crash.....I am tempted to by an Apple machine.
