My computer wont boot up to the desktop, it does a normal boot up to the point where I hear the introductory music of the Windows boot-up, but the desktop never appears, just an all blue screen/maybe the background of the desktop, even get the screen saver, but know desktop. When I do a Control-Alt-Delete The button “LOCK Computer” is selected; I tried to click that button and entered my user name and passwd but still does not bring up the desktop, admin log in does not work too. Have no way to get into the computer by any other means Laptop sony PCG-FX150k 256 ram OS Windows 2000 pro Thanks!

i'm having that same problem right now with windows 2000 professional. it just started this morning when i got up and turned on the computer. if you or anyone else figures out the problem it would be most appreciated because i've tried everything. thanks.

Hi, I just fixed 2 PC's with the same problem. It is a combination of a few viruses, but one trojan for sure: hide_desktop... I did this: When booted, cnrl-alt-del to get to Windows Security window. There click on Task manager and go to File - Open and then choose Desktop. There find an Internet Explorer Icon, double click and go to: www.hbedv.com and download their free virus software. Download it to the Desktop so that you can go there and install it or just open it from their site so you can autoamticaly install it. Go through the scan and follow the instructions to clean the virus(es)... Regards, Neb

well, i did what you said and i'm now virus free. and i still have no desktop or anything. any more suggestions? thanks.

i got mine fixed. after i ran the virus scan and cleaned everything i downloaded the most recent service pack from microsoft. so if you have problems you may try that. thanks for the help Neb.
