When starting my computer after the welcome screen the next screen is completely blue with no icons at all. I cant do ctrl-alt-del as it says task manager has been disabled by the adminstrator - I can start in safe mode but even when I sart at last know good configuration the same happens - any ideas??

hi just boot to safe mode and try doing a system restore.
start->all programs->accessories->system tools->system restore.

Choose a date when your system was working fine.
After restarting everthying should be normal. If not post back .

best thing would be a repair installation, you wont loose any data, but it will overwrite system dlls. Possible you might have to reinstall some of the programs on your computer.
guess this link will help for repair installation
