re: Question about No ICONS nor taskbar on start up page Monday, July 28, 2003 at 5:55 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by fred (3 messages posted) W98SE, Dell Optiplex PII-400, running fine until kids banging on keyboard playing frogger. Started next day with windows logo, login to server window, I responded, with either correct user/password or cancel, and... hourglass (no server if u/p entered, click ok) then get background with mouse pointer and the taskbar quickly flashes there and gone. CAD results in close program with nothing there. Can shut down and go to safe mode with same results or to command prompt. Am checking bootlog and will enter info as i get it. replaced explorer.exe and same results. Scanreg /restore (2 diff reg dates) same results. No virus with f-prot(dos, 072203 sigs). Scandisk, no probs. OK where do we go from here. Thanks beforehand. f On Tuesday, July 9, 2002 at 9:19 am, RLF wrote: >When I turn on my computer I get only the screen saver picture.
