Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes'

I have tried everything. Was on-line, walked away, came back, moved mouse to "wake
up" the monitor. Nothing - no icons - no task bar. Cannot right-click on desktop.
Did a restore at this time to 3 months ago. Task Manager is obviously working,
but explorer.exe is not running and will not run. I have scanned numerous on-line
sites for virsus, found nothing. Purchased and did a PCDoctor fix. nothing! Running
Sophis and stopzilla. I really am at the end of my rope. Gateway says I have been
"infected" without looking at my operating system AT ALL!

Just tried that, but I can't find my original CD, so that won't work

Joe's List /

If you can't find your CD then you don't have many options.
What happens if you open Task Manager and click on File then Run and enter explorer?
Does the Desktop come up?
Do you have a C:\I386 directory on your harddrive? If so you can run Windows install
from there and try a Repair install from your harddrive rather than from CD. Not
sure if it will work or not but it's worth a try. Change the C:\I386 and enter winnt
Repair install WinXP /
Clean install WinXP

Uninstall stopzilla. Many friends have been having this problem lately and they've
all been fixed by uninstalling stopzilla. You might want to check stopzilla's site;
I've heard they have a fix for this now.
