I have a Windows XP and today is the 3rd day that I can’t seem to be able to get it to work. When I star up my pc, I don’t see anything; all I see is just my desktop background image and the mouse. I don’t see the start menu or the desktop icons. Please, please help me. I called Windows help desk but they charge $100 just to do a diagnostic! Your advised is greatly appreciated.
PC won't start porperly..............

Hello
What spyware/anti-virus have you got???
Norton or Mcafee then get rid.
Download Superantispyware and run the free version of it.

For some of your icons try this
Goto desktop and rightclick. in menu choose properties/desktop/customise desktop
in the general section you shoudl see some options that need to be ticked. if they are not then tick them if they are then untick them click ok then apply. then go back in retick them ok then apply again
for your desktop again right click on desktop at top of that menu goto 'arrange icons' at the top of the bottom section make sure 'show desktop icons' is ticked
try that for now
