My desktop has disappeared!?

it actually isn't a virus, and system restore can't be performed (he can't get any desktop or start button icons), explorer.exe is failing to load into memory. my guesses are that a service upon startup is failing to start.\nwhat i'd suggest is to start windows in safe mode, and go to event viewer and check for system errors.\ni know how frustrating that could be. ;o)

It was a piece of malware you had installed. Odds are something cleaned it up for you. Go to Tools, Manage Add-ons, and find any reference to it and set it to "disable". Also, Start - Run - msconfig - OK, go to Startup tab, look for anything else in there and uncheck it. When you reboot check the box that comes up and hit OK so you won't see it again.

Xavier, it sounds like your OS has died on you somehow. sounds to me like you are gonna have to reinstall it. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. it could possibly be bad sectors on your hard drive too which means you need a new one.

try 'system restore'. under 'all programs' go to accecories, then system tools, there you'll see 'system restore'. go back to a time before you had that program installed

lock the taskbar...or try this.\nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

Nothing to worry, dont panic. Use system restore. Go to start, programs, accessories, system toos and system restore. Try to uninstall the program which u installed last. Did u do any upgradation.

Are you at full screen? If so hit F11 to reduce your screen size. there should be a restore button somewhere. That you should be able to see

try the search option from windows (click on start, there should be the search somewhere included..), it scanns your whole saving space and should therefore be able to find what they have snatched away from you (bloody little dwarfs)

Is your start button gone or there but not functional? If it's gone your task bar may have just been dragged down hidding it...try click and holding down the left mouse button at the very bottom of the screen and drag it back up...To re-enable your desktop icons just click the right mouse button anywhere on your desktop background and go to "Properties" then click (with the left mouse button) the "Desktop" tab and then click the "Customize Desktop" button, there under the "General" tab you will see "Desktop icons" just place a check by the icons you want to appear...

Check to make sure it's still on your computer.  Go to start, control panel, then add/remove programs.  Is it on the list of programs?  If not, you may have to reinstall it.  Have you tried restarting your computer?  Try that first.

Is it there, even after you restart the computer?  My computer has done that on occasion, but it disappeared after a fresh restart.

This can often happen when you have the active desktop turned on.  Right-click the desktop and turn it off.

Did you look in your start programs menu?  It should be there, maybe under new programs, if you don't have an icon on the bottom of your screen or on your desktop.
