Problem after signing in Desktop, Start Menu, and icons do not loa alexanderbres 4/27/2007 9:56:00 PM Everything loads properly up to the point after I select the user, it loads my background image but not the menu bar, desktop icons, or anything else. I can Ctrl-Alt-Del to open new tasks but I cannot open Internet Explorer or most programs, Microsoft office programs do work though along with printing.

Re: Problem after signing in Desktop, Start Menu, and icons do not "Colin Barnhorst" <colinbarharst(remove)[ at ]msn.com> 4/27/2007 11:07:37 PM We support both servers and clients, including IA64. As you have now noticed, "XP" is not in the title of the newsgroup. Have you tried system restore? If that has not helped, try starting the computer at the boot options screen and choose Last Known Good Configuration. I reach that on my box by pressing F8 during startup but your machine may differ. You may have received an update around the time you were working in IE and Word. I have had that happen with an Avast! program update just a couple of days ago and it messed up my XP x64 box in a similar way. The last resort would be a Repair Install, but don't make that your first option. You may have recently installed SP2 and if so you would have difficulties doing a Repair Install unless you just happened to have made a slipstreamed copy of XP Pro x64 with SP2 already. -- Colin Barnhorst MVP Virtual Machine "alexanderbres" <alexanderbres[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:392C289B-F7B2-46E8-8B45-EAB8517458FB[ at ]microsoft.com...
