Maybe you have no desktop items. XD Just kidding
Well when I have problem I close EVERYTHING. Hit CTRL + ALT + DEL and end everything, including your system operated programs. Then reboot. If that doesn't work, maybe your computer is taking it's time loading your desktop icons. Or instead of using CTRL + ALT + DEL, Hit Start > Run > explorer.exe. If that doesn't work, try calling customer service/help. You computer may be damage, or screwed. I hope I helped. QUOTE(Hiaito @ Nov 28 2005, 11:18 PM) Maybe you have no desktop items.

Hold up.
No start menu? Where are you, friends's house? How the hell are you typing now? Unless you used the ctrl + alt +del....
daxleet,
See if you can enter into the safe mode. If you are not familiar how to enter, when your computer starts just hold on to F8 until DOS based menu shows up and select to be started in the safe mode. If your computer successfully starts in the SAFE MODE, restart the computer as normal to see if that fixes the problem. If not, you can always fix the booting information by inserting Windows XP (and I assume you have Windows XP) setup disk and choose fix widows. This option will not harm your existing files and programs. The last resort before reformatting the whole thing is to revert back to last known good boot up by performing the restore option using registry restore. It's under your Start menu. Hiaito, Please be kind with your words and do not express antipathy. Thank you.

Just in case you need another word to replace 'antipathy'.
It sounds to me like some components in your windows explorer is corrupted. You should goto safe mode and perform a system restore, not registry restore, from the last saved point (assuming you didn't turn off system restore).
If that doesn't work (because you don't have system restore on), try booting to safe mode and running "sfc /scannow" (no quotes). Type that into RUN from the start menu. It will check your windows install to see if files are corrupted and then ask you for the windows XP disk to fix it. Then you can try, as the previuos poster suggests, going to the XP disk on boot up and selecting REPAIR. Basically, if none of this works, you must re-install the OS. And you might lose some information.
Get Taskbar to load and start process = explorer.exe (found in the Windows folder) This should get your desktop to load if not try getting a virus check done, this is most likely have caused your problem. If not Re-format and re-install windows.
It is most likely a startup problem, set explorer.exe as a startup option.

This same thing happened to me it's very annoying but I found easiest waya to fix is to reinstall xp.

Vista Desktop Black screen no cursor
Desktop Doesn't Load P>1 year old HP system with Vista home premium pre loaded (no disk). Been working fine -well..For Vista). Just updated to SP2 2 days ago. Went ayay for 2 days. When I got back had total black screen. Tried to restart multiple times. Hear startup beep, HP logo screen flashes once, then sometimes see boot menu flash, then screen goes blank. Cant see cursor or any menu or desktop items. At night, with a flashlight, can see faint images in the display but no mouse. Was able to get to safe mode once but still black screen so still fumbling in the blind. Tried booting from ISO image but no joy ( believe HDD is ahead of CD/DVD in boot sequence). No joy with F8 or Ctl/Alt/Del. I'm at a loss as to how to regain control of system - assuming I ever had it ! Please help Len

Black screen and no start menu
Desktop Doesn't Load About a week ago, my computer froze up and when I restarted it, click on the user icon to log in. Then, the black screen loaded up without my desktop and start Menu. All that showed up was my Documents tab and that's it. I have no idea how to fix it. I did a scan for viruses and it did find a bunch of them and deleted it them, but the problem remains. I still have the black screen and no Start menu. I went to safe mode and that didnt help either. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks. -reply by Max GI Have that problem rite now, I just alt + cntrl + del and then click file and run the internet to get on Lol... I also typed explorer.Exe in and my toolbar and desktop popped up. I got mine from a virus that I still have and don't no how to get rid of. I ran Ad-aware scan and then that got some and then I ran microsoft one and it was gone for like 5 minutes and so I reset computer and now its back... =L
Had this problem with no desktop coming up. Ctrl+alt+delete and new task explorer worked fine though...
So I assumed it was a corrupt explorer.Exe or a bad registry entry HOWEVER After alot of research (no websites have a decent answer) In my case it was userinit.Exe When I checked system32 there was no userinit.Exe, but my pc wouldnt let me download userinit.Exe (it just plain refused) So I saved the file as userinit.Exee and it worked.. Thats when I realised it was something more malicious. Especially since I then couldnt rename userinit.Exee to .Exe hmmmm Went into safemode, and userinit had re-appeared in system32, but it had a blank description and was the wrong size! In safemode I could rename userinit.Exee to userinit.Exe and copied it over the FAKE one in C:\windows\system32\ It would appear on startup this fake one would run, copy itself, delete itself (so you cant find it), and stop you from downloading a new one! So basically: Download http://www.F-prot.Com/support/files/win-xp-sp2-de/userinit.Exe (call it something else if it wont let you save it) Goto safemode Rename downloaded file to userinit.Exe Copy it to C:\windows\system32\ Reboot This fixed: No Desktop (explorer.Exe not working) Login then instantly Log off Seen these problems on sooo many websites with no answers Really hopes this helps somebody (posted it here as its high on google search) |
