Please can somone provide some guidance - working on computer everything perfect. Turn it off, the following day turn it on and hey presto NO ICONS. The screen is blank no Start nothing. The windows XP logo appears but then fails to load. Any ideas anyone. I have a mesh matrix system, however, their software support were not too helpful. Thanks. JC

Try pressing CTRL, ALT and DEL and starting Task Manager.
From there you can try to start explorer.exe

How about if you logon to a different profile. Namely Administrator


Hi Andy,

Tried that no effect, there is no mouse pointer either, and it will not boot up on F8 safe mode?

any modifications made to the PC (software or hardware) that could have possibly caused this?

I'm thinking that maybe a USB device could be preventing windows from loading successfully, or possibly some sort of virus. I'm not aware of a particular virus that would have caused this, but re-installing windows might be your only option.

Edit...
How about running Scandisk from the Command Prompt (F8 on startup)
