Guest SingularToaster Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 When I start up Windows XP on my laptop (both normally and in safe mode) The start bar appears for a split second, disappears, and leaves me with the windows background and no icons. i can start spplications by using the task manager (such as word). When they run, there is a gap along the bottom of the screen where the start bar should be. Also, when I minimise, they disappear. We've tried replacing the explorer.exe file in the windows directory - that didn't work (had to do that by accessing \\computername\c$ from another networked computer
