| 1138561 | 2010-09-20 23:17:00 | ok here's my situation...so im running off of windows xp home edition, a few weeks ago i did a system restore all the way back to may b/c i thought i could find a deleted document that i needed, ok so that worked all went well but couldnt find the document. so i then did another system restore to a later date in june...all of a sudden when restarting i get this error msg: this application has failed to start b/c WININET.dll was not found. Re-installing may fix the problem and i get sometimes urlmon.dll not found and to re-install may fix the problem too. now i have only a wallpaper to stare at, no icons, no start menu, but i know how to use the task manager by ctrl+alt+del but im so lost on what to do. so ive looked everywhere on the web for solutions and fixes i tried to follow everything to the best of my knowledge and nothing is working, ugghhhh. im getting frustrated haha! please, someone willing to help me out, step by step please, would be greatly appreciated! thx! ps...i have no recovery discs |

| 1138562 | 2010-09-20 23:25:00 | you might be able to get some functions back by clicking File > New Task (Run..) in task manager and type Explorer.exe into the box that pops up. Otherwise I'd suggest going into safe mode and doing a virus/spyware scan. |
