Click to expand...

And you did a system restore... why?
 
There is not a whole lot broken, just process explorer.exe

nowhere b seen.
for just a fraction of a second teh startmenu appear on screen, taskbar
also coems with it but then it disappears and does not return at all.
pls suggest wat is 2 b done now. there was basically no such need of
doing system restore 4 me, teh com was running very slow and i donot
know wat made me go for the opetion of system restore. an dnow im
sufering.
 
It is possible you may be able to recover explorer.exe either by
running:

sfc /scannow

or by extracting it from cabinet files. This is a little tricky as it
depends on OS version, the location of your cabinet files, and an
exact command line.
This may even fix you keyboard problem.

I forgot to notice, but what happens in Safe Mode?
From the sounds of things, explorer.exe is starting, but is
immediately terminated.
