Now once i start up my pc. it run through the windows xp screen. my wallpaper come up, but all my icon and start tool bar is disappear. i try to do Ctrl, Alt, Del. a windows come up it said "task mananger was disable" etc...... In addition, i did try to put the xp disc try to do repari, but it is not reading the cd drive either. (I did change my BIOS to boot the cd drive) I don't want to format my pc, b/c i have a lot of information inside and it network to al the pc. Please someone tell me what to do ASAP. Thanks!!

I don't know about the start menu not being there, but I had a similar problem witha friend's computer not showing the desktop icons. How I fixed it was, I right-clicked on the desktop, clicked "Arrange Icons By" and then clicked on "Show Desktop Icons."

leslienation, It's not the answer you want to hear but there's so many possible causes to this problem as you'll see by going thru the links/threads at the links below.

No Taskbar or Desktop Icons #1

No Taskbar or Desktop Icons #2

I wish I had a definitive solution but I don't.
