scroll the mouse to the bottom of the screen, the task bar should pop up if its hidden.

if not... re-format.

I was kidding about reforamting...that's my solution to every n00bs cpu problems.

but you may have to check for the desktop hijack (as dubbs said) so to check for that... right click your desktop >> properties (if you dont have the usual options like screensaver etc,) do a virus scan.

desktop hijacks are a bitch, cause you WILL have to re-format IMO.

explorer is corrupt.
try using the windows key on the keyboard + E to check and see if that works.

Then ctrl + alt + del
File - New Task - and type in explorer and hit enter.

yup explorer isnt running, if neohs suggestion doesnt work see if it does in safe mode

start/run "msconfig" enter, under boot.ini select safeboot and network, restart

shit,,, possibly. If your cpu won't let you back up files to burn to disk, then yeah you might aswell kiss everything goodbye.

naw, the next Time that my gf uses it she'll freak out (if the icons aren't there again) and i'll be all like, "damn bitch! how stupid is you? you gotta do this bitch!" and then i'll be like the knight in shining armour...minus the words of kindness.
