HELP! No Desktop or Start Menu Sept 2, 2005 14:38:39 GMT -5

I was on the computer earlier today and switched it off as normal before I headed off to football.

When I came back I started it up while I had a shower, when I returned to the computer all that was on it was the desktop wallpaper. No Icons, No Start Menu, no time nothing!

I've got the internet running through CTRL+ALT+DELETE>Task MAnager>File>New Task>Browse>My Documents

Anyone know what I can do to restore things back to normal?

I'm just praying that thing will go back to normal coz its real annoying trying to access things.
I just don't want to face life without a desktop :'(

not even a clock or tasktray or msn
Even when i minimilise the window it goes to the bottom cornor of the screen.

if you have winxp press F8 before it starts loading and you'll have a startup menu.
choose "last known configuration"/"last good configuration" or something like that.
it might work correctly afterwards.
if you installed something before windows cracked you may not have it anymore.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
