Hi...I'm new here and very inexperienced at the pc. I'm running Windows XP and when I turned my pc on this morning, I have no desktop icons, no start button to click on at the bottom of the screen. I managed to get the Task Manager up but when I try to do anything in it, I get a message saying "Program is not responding"......Help!!!...what do I do to get my desktop back?
