Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Monday, October 31, 2005 at 2:25 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Iraj Jafariseyedabadi (1 messages posted) Its a few days that my windows explorer crashes and all icons on desktop disappear also the mouse and everything on screen hangs ! I have discoered the way to recover the desk top myself ,but the problem happens every time when i try to open my computer folders ! Microsoft has no answere for the crash reason and i was prohibited ! from downloading security updates for internet explorer (as microsoft recommended) by the same problem(download page hanged ) ! I have done much more about that : I noticed the task manager datas related to processes ,and preformance ,so i discovered that when the problem happens ,number of proceses increase (still need to compare and find which processes are increased). I also noticed that the CPU usage changes (from 100% to 2 % ) during the differrent stages of this problem ,but when hanged it is 100% ,normally it is around 80 % after some reactions by me it becomes 2-3 % for example refreshing task manager . I also noticed that task manager shows more than one icon for some folders ! for example :network connections .... I also noticed that memory usage changes awfully for some applications .I guess all these could be related to uninstalling a software named without restoring the internet explorer ,so some directories are damaged ,but i do not know still how to repair my windows software and microsoft help and support is not applicable to me due to my being i Iran ,and at most will cause another problem (windows activation!!)
