Computer had viruses, removed the virus now windows
starts to the point that the desktop background displays
but thats it. A ctrl/atl/del will bring up task manager,
and you can run a program from task manager. What dll
or ?? is windows xp missing?

thanks
Jim

Try running SFC /SCANNOW from task manager.
