I didn't realize that my computer didn't shut down yesterday, so I'm not sure if something was still pulled up when I hit the power button this morning. I'm a little confused about what you did. Did you power off your computer, or did you just leave it on since there was something on it? Remember that if the system is not responding, hitting the power button may not turn off the computer, you will need to hold the power button for up to ten seconds or pull the power cord in the back. Does the mouse or keyboard respond? Does ctrl+alt+del work?I thought I had shut the computer down last night, but for whatever REASON, it did not shut down and I didn't realize this until I hit the power button this morning. control, alt, delete, does bring up the windows security box. The mouse & keyboard work. The problem is that I still can't get my icons back on my desktop. "start" is also MISSING off of the screen along with all of the other info that is usually across the bottom of the screen. I think I need more caffeine. I still can't tell if you said you restarted your computer or not. Did you, in fact, turn your computer off since your first post?
