i also tried system restore, uh somebody help me pleaseWhat happened prior to this ? ?
Any new hardware or software installed recently ? ?
Have you attempted a System Restore ? ?yep i tried a system restore but it didnt help. I dont want to REINSTALL and macaffe says there is no malicous software installed but i did download a couple ebooks a day prior to when this happened
How are you running all those programs, since you can see "My Documents" window only?
Did you try Safe Mode?Hi, i have a dell xps210 vista premium,4 1yr now.
and exactly the same thing happened to me
last week? it took a few attempts at system restore
point but luckly it worked. I know this isnt much help
just thought id let you know it happened to my P.C.
hope you sort it ...P....
Fortunately I know zero about Vista, but it looks like Explorer.exe isnt running. If this works in Vista, try to HIT CTRL ALT DELETE and then click on File....NewTask(RUN) and TYPE in explorer.exe and hit OK. Should allow you to get to your usual if it works in Vista.
