i can open everything through Ctrl+alt+delete but im kinda stuck because i have nothing on my desktop and it wont let me do ANYTHING !!!

It happened at start up, no warning or anything came up saying anything had happened, i virus scanned just the other day and i got rid of the few that i had, also i havnt downloaded anything for about 4 months

Explorer crashed, go control alt delete, New Task (run) and explorer.exe.

If that doesn't work, check the processes list and see if explorer.exe is running. If it is, kill it and start it again If that fails hit the power button on your pc and click "restart" when the dialogue comes up, assuming your PC is newer and doesn't turn right off when you hit the button.

When booting, hit F8, then log in safe mode, use system restore to back up in time

ok, i tried rebooting and hitting F8, didnt do anything for some reason this thing has happened to all 6 accounts on my pc, i got way to fed up of it now so im gonna format it

[Jaymz]

You have to get it right when the boot screen comes up, timing is everything
