PC Not Starting Up Properly

**Cactus Sid** · 03-09-2004, 07:03 PM

Basically, when the PC starts up (I'm using XP) everything runs as normal until I actually log in, then it takes a little while to start up (it says its loading up Personal Settings) then it goes onto my background.... and that's it, the bar at the bottom doesn't load up, nor do my desktop items.

I can load up programs by bringing up the Windows Task Manager (ALT+CTRL+DEL) but its bugging me having to do that, I need to sort the rest out. I went into safe mode and downloaded a virus checker (I had 350

) got rid of them all (which gave me my sound back) and basically the pc is working fine, except the problem of no desktop

Any what have any idea?
