I had no desktop on a compaq presario (not mine) after running spybot SD on a Win 98 machine. No Desktop, Icons or Start menu. It would give me: explorer has generated errors and will shut down (roughly this msg. or similar) I used the suggested fix of using win 98 upgrade disk -starting with a bootdisk - and this worked perfectly. I luckily had an upgrade disk - but if you dont and are desperate -try ebay. This fixed worked great - seemed to save all the data on the machine - Thanks a Bunch- this forum saved me (or actually my sisters PC!!)
