Icons, taskbar, and start menu disappears - Explorer.exe

[Guest BertieBigBollox@gmail.com]

Whenever I click on My Computer, everything disappears.

 

I can still open taskmgr but thats it.

 

Any ideas?

I would suggest 1st downloading the latest updates to your virus and spyware

softwares, run a full system scan.

What do you mean by "you two" my reply was to you not him. I have not

replied to any of his posts in well over a year. but a lot of good that

does. He is a sick cyber stalker. He replies to every post I make because he

is sick, you should feel sorry for him as I do.

And yet you post my name and make accusations about me in EVERY one of

your posts - I told you, when you want me to stop defending my name you

just need to stop posting using my name in your messages. As long as you

post my name anywhere in your message I have a right and responsibility

to defend it.

Lythos has repeatedly stated he'd be willing to drop the whole thing if PC

would simply remove any/all references to him in his posts, including the

sig.

 

As yet, PC has not complied.

Re: Icons, taskbar, and start menu disappears - Explorer.exe

 

Leythos was stalking me way before I put his name in my sig, at least 3

years before. That was reason I put up a disgusting website about him and

added him to my sig. So the fact that his name is in my sig has nothing to

do with it. The guy is obsessed with me. He is sick. He does not offer any

help in any of these groups, all he does is look my posts and reply to them.

What part of, well ... MANY of the posts he's made recently, saying he's

willing to drop the whole thing if you remove his name from your sig have

you failed to comprehend?

 

He's extended the olive branch. It's now up to you to either accept it, or

continue to look foolish, IMO.

I've used this name since 89, having been on Usenet since 84, and I see

no reason to change it or not defend it from the likes of a pirate filth

monger like butts.

You have not, not once, removed all traces of my name from your

messages.

 

I've offered many times, take my name out of your messages and I won't

have to defend my name. It's that simple Chris - no part of my name in

your messages and I won't have to defend my name.

 

Try it - take my name out of your messages for a week, including the

website you stalk me with, and see how it works - it's all in your court

now Chris.

First, bad assumption on stalking - he's the one stalking as every post

he makes has my name in it, he even created a domain name in my honor.

 

Second - he's NEVER removed my name from his posts since he started

this, not once. Sure, he took it out of the sig, but he left the domain

name and email address with my name in it. It's an all or nothing type

thing, but he's not honorable enough to do it.
