Post SP3 Boots to a blank desktop

[Guest RonnieO]

After a few of our pc's loaded sp3 the next day the users are booting up to a

blank desktop, no menu,icons, nothing. We removed sp3 through the recovery

mode and ran the repair. Still nothing. The only solution we found was to

remove the HD, backup folders and reformat. Anyone else having this issue?

sometimes when the

desktop is blank,

you can run the

process/task:

explorer.exe

Re: Post SP3 Boots to a blank desktop

 

well, it was a shot

in the dark.

 

i researched sp3 for a

couple of weeks and also

ascertained an opinion

from the maker of my

machine, and ultimately

the suggestion by the tech

convinced me not to install

it.

 

i think you can get some

help from the experts here:
