837682 2009-12-08 08:04:00 If you can boot into safe mode with command prompt, you can try this -- at the command prompt, type in chkdsk /r <Press Enter> let chkdsk run through, its designed to locate and sometimes fix corrupted files. If not from safemode/command prompt, then try from the XP CD, using the recovery console. wainuitech (129)
837683 2009-12-08 08:12:00 CHKDSK result:
the type of file system is ntfs
cannot lock current drive

chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? Y/N?

837684 2009-12-08 08:21:00 Press Y then reboot, see what happens Speedy Gonzales (78)
837685 2009-12-08 09:15:00 It just finished the disk check and said the filesystem is ntfs and the disk is clean. jackinthebox11 (15498)
837686 2009-12-08 09:18:00 So, will it boot into safe mode / networking? Sounds like its infected with something Speedy Gonzales (78)
837687 2009-12-08 09:19:00 Rebooted and still no icons, taskbar, and still can't run anything. Any more ideas?
Yes it can boot into all modes but will no taskbar in all.

837688 2009-12-08 09:21:00 Is there a way to just sort of renew explorer because that's all I think it is. Something could be messing with it as you said. Or it could just be corrupt. But I can't think of anyway to fix that... jackinthebox11 (15498)
