re: No start menu or icons - blank screen Thursday, January 29, 2004 at 7:52 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steph28 (5 messages posted) Well, turns out I had the W32.HLLW.Gaobot.gen worm and a parasite. Sigh. I ended up creating a new user acct and deleted the old one. windows is still loading rather slowly but now that i think all my viruses are gone (have run spybot and adware and norton) maybe that will help. So..I think I'm in the clear. thanks a million for your help!
