i was surfing the other day when i guess i must have accidentally clicked a pop up or something and something installed silntly and blah blah blah i ran spybot S&D got rid of all that it said was there and then i restarted and from there i got the explorer.exe error, i dont know the codes or anything but when i log on it has the desktop whick i cannot interact with at all no task bar or anything, so naturally i assumed that a restore to previous date would fix it so i did so and now i do not get the error but simply get the desktop which i cannot use....i can use the task manager to open some programs but from there nothing else.... any help would be greatly appreciated in the matter...
BTW im running a pre-loaded windows xp home, on a Acer travelmate 2300 laptop...i have the cds and everything, thanks for help
