No Task Bar nor Desktop Icons in normal or Safe Mode
Looking for assistance to resolve problem with my son's
Compaq. He says system was running slow so he did CTRL-Alt-Del to see what was running. Task Mgr showed a weird item (tilde with "some symbols" on same line) so he did another CTRL-Alt-Del to restart. Restart looked normal through the splash screen portion but then it stopped with the Wallpaper displayed without any desktop icons nor Task Bar. He did CTRL-Alt-Del and there was nothing/nothing running in the Task Mgr. He then went to the Safe Mode and it only shows the words Safe Mode in the corners of screen but there are no Desktop Icons nor Task Bar. Can anyone help given this limited, second hand information? Thank you. Job says, "Statistics show that shortly after an increase in the sales of computers there is an increase in the sales of hammers." |
