169749 2003-08-23 02:30:00 This is for a freind.

He turned the computer on in the morning, and no desktop items were there, and no taskbar thing with the start menu.
None of the F keys on the keyboard work, so you cant get into help buy pressing F1, to get to the restore thing.

Is there anyway to fix it?

Windows XP

I told them about the repair feature on the XP CD. If that is used, will it wipe all their stuff, or what?

169752 2003-08-24 01:17:00 oh, and they cant right click. So shall i tell them to do a repair? mejobloggs (264)
169753 2003-08-24 01:21:00 Is there a way they can get into the windows help, so they can try a system restore?

They cant right click, none of the F# keys work, but they can get to C drive, so is there a link in C dirve to the help or something?
