Solve : No toolbar or desktop icons? Please help!? |
|
Answer» Yesterday morning, I woke up to the computer being turned off (in my house, it's almost always left on). When I turned it on and logged onto the main account, the toolbar and desktop icons flashed on and then were gone. I tried unplugging and restarting the computer, alas neither worked. I'm at a loss for what to do! What information should I add when submitting a question? Ah! I'm terribly sorry. D: The computer is a Dell, Dimension E510 and it runs on Microsoft Windows XP. I don't know anything about RAM or CPU. Sorry. As for the problem, it began Wednesday morning. No new software was installed that I know of. As I said before, I turned on the computer, logged in, and the toolbar and desktop icons were there, but soon disappeared. The only thing that appears is the wallpaper. I can run certain things by bringing up the Windows Task Manager and running programs like Firefox and iTunes, but I can't open folders or the control panel. If there's anything else you need to know, please tell me!hi, i have the same problem with ONE of my computers, i know how to restore the icon etc, press ctrl+alt+delete, then click file, click run, and then type control and enter. this is as far as i have gotten, i plan to just run a malware seacher to REMOVE the virus. let me know how you go! charlieQuote I can run certain things by bringing up the Windows Task Manager and running programs like Firefox and iTunes,Using the same technique here, run Explorer.exe Try that and post back.

My gosh! That worked! You're brilliant! The only thing is, now it kind of "blinks" on and off. I can't have My Documents or any folder like that open for more than a few seconds. Do you SUPPOSE there is some kind of malware manifesting somewhere?Was it the Explorer.exe thing that got it working?Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 04, 2008, 07:58:46 PM Was it the Explorer.exe thing that got it working? Both "Explore.exe" and "Control" seem to have worked the same.All Right. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 04, 2008, 08:10:00 PM All Right. Call me dumb, but I don't understand why the toolbar and icons disappear when I have a My Documents or other folder up. Is there any way I can fix this?Wait, so it HAPPENS every time?Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 04, 2008, 08:14:23 PM Wait, so it happens every time? Every time I'm in some type of folder? Yes. Can you try doing a System Restore to a date before this problem started happening?Sure! Could you tell me how to do that? I'm not exactly what you'd call computer wise.Go to Start --> All Programs --> Acessories --> System Tools --> System Restore. Then basically follow the steps. |
