frozen start menu and icons Monday, October 24, 2005 at 7:56 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Diane (2 messages posted) I hope someone can help me :( I had been having problems with a stwoyle trojan - it kept coming up in my virus scan pop up. I tried everything to get rid of it but it never left. Now my computer is frozen - It boots up, I can log in to all accounts but when windows xp (home) desktop comes up, I cannot click anything. The icons and start menu are frozen. The only thing that seems to work is task manager, but I cannot browse to find a program to start. This happens under all users and Safe mode does the same thing. Is there any hope or do I need to reformat? Thanks for you help!
