Re: lost desktop
start the PC and hit F8 after the booting process starts (before Windows) and a menu appears, then start in SAFE mode.
then go through the safe process and reboot (again) from windows. see if it works |

Re: lost desktop
i tried the safe mode as you suggested...i went into the administrator tab, but now i'm still getting the following error:
Windows Task Manager: taskmgr.exe entry point not found The procedure entry point shcreate thread ref could not be located in the dymanic link library shlwapi.dll it then leaves you the option to "x" out or hit "ok". either way, the message goes away, but then nothing happens... any other suggestions?? |
