My computer was being really weird, I lost all the icons on the desktop and couldent shut down properly. So I shut it down the wrong way, waited a few seconds..and turned it back on. Now the start menu wont show up and the icons are gone. I got onto internet explorer in a weird way and yeah. I messed up the computer so what do I do now? How can I get the start menu to show up and stuff? Thanks!! Please help!! I rate 5's!

Try downloading the following programs and run them (if you have dial-up it mught be slow downloading). It will remove all spyware and adware. If it still doesnt work when you do this and restart it. Call your software company (Windows etc.) and if they are no help contact your hardware company (Dell, Apple etc.)

Then in the window that pops up click the "new process" or "new application" button, whatever it's called. type in "explorer.exe" and hit enter. If that doesn't work you probably need to do a system restore. [ MaxwellsSilverHammer's advice column | Ask MaxwellsSilverHammer A Question ]
