re: XP startup problem Friday, January 6, 2006 at 5:13 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Dunn (911 messages posted) Did you do a repair reinstall - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341? If so, you'll need to reapply service packs and visit windows update. Also, you may have virus/spyware/malware. I'd definitely run complete scan with AV app and at least 2 good anti-spyware apps (eg, spybot, adaware, MS antispyware) On Friday, January 6, 2006 at 3:27 pm, Harry wrote: >Hi, I'm running xp home and switched on to find no icons or task bar on the screen. > Restarted and it was ok but only sometimes.
