No Task bar, no start button, no icons, nothing but wallpaper
in [Windows XP]

From: Joe on 6 May 2010 16:42 When I boot the computer, it brings me to user profile page that displays correctly. When I chose a profile loads and the screen is blank other than the desktop wallpaper. No Task bar, start button, icons, nothing but wallpaper. The only way to access the system is through control-alt-delete and choose "new task". From new task I can access all programs, even can choose desktop and it shows the desktop icons that you can open. I tried reloading Win XP Home Edition but get a message that there isn't enough disk space. I tried Disk Claen-up and Disk Defrag but it dosen't solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

Do you have a TV connected to a mini-DIN connector or the like ? You could try moving the monitor cable to the other video card connector. If this is a computer with integrated (motherboard) graphics chip, it may be more difficult to figure out where the alternate graphics outputs would go. If you can navigate there, try the Display control panel (right-click in the blank desktop), then check the graphics configuration to see if there are two display screens shown. It could be, your monitor is the right hand half of some kind of dual display setup. http://www.bartneck.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/10-9-2009_13-58-20.png Paul
