Just now I was upgrading to AVG anti-virus 8. Rebooted and now my desktop is missing.
I have no start menu, no icons no nothing. I am able to run internet explorer by going into the system tray and launching it from there.
My Windows XP cd is currently MIA, but I should be able to burn myself a copy even with my computer crippled.
Okay, so now that I am done writing this message, everything just appeared (star menu and icons). However they seem to be running at a snail's pace. I cannot click on anything and expect a resonable timeframe.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Now it seems I can do everything just fine as long as I dont try to interact with anything related to my desktop or the start menu bar, they run slow as hell.
