Windows 7: Black desktop after system Resore

After I did a system restore, my computer screen is black all I can see is my cursor and it takes forever for it to load to my real desktop.

Does it happen in safemode (F8)?

Why did you need to do a restore?

Is this a clean install or upgrade?

Hi imeem,

It looks like there's a solution here: Black screen with cursor [Solved]

Let me know if that helps.

I didn't try safe mode yet but I will. and I did a system restore because I suspect that my computer has sum virus or something related to that because all my contacts are spamming me with the same message, I tried msn on another computer and they didn't spam me.

and my computer is already windows 7 when I bought it. Also after the restore, my antivirus stopped working.

I am going to try undoing the restore to see if it will solve it.

Well either the undoing the restore fixed it or that it just magically stopped

So is everything back to normal then, imeem?

I think I found something new on my computer. Either after this incident or I don't know, I notice that my computer says I have 2 local disk; C drive and Q drive. C drive is my primary and only hard drive and Q drive came out of no where.

Office 2010 Beta-related? Mystery Drive (Q:)
