Windows Xp Stuck On Wallpaper

[hey_suburbia]

After installing Windows updates and rebooting, I get stuck with just my background image loading up, no icons or taskbar....any ideas?

...before resorting to restore.

Thanks

have you tried booting to safe mode and then rebooting? sounds like a fault with explorer ;)

edit....what updates did you install? any drivers?

Stop....... Don't restore.....

Right click on your desktop> show desktop icons..... :lol:

Oh and get rid of that XP wallpaper, don't be a Micro$oft whore all your life. :P

Edit. Oops, sorry. You don't have a task bar? That's not good. :( When you visited Windows Update, did you install the video driver? You could try rolling back to previous driver.

this happend to me when i instaled service pack1 and then tryed to us a crack to reactivate. Unforutntly system restore would not work so i had to resolve to format my harddisk. :( But i then started from scratch and partioned my hardisk.This is a good idea as you have a save backup :rolleyes:

System restore seems the best option to me here
