Background only on new Win7/64 installation
I just finished a brand new desktop computer build. One monitor, integrated motherboard graphics.
Everything seemed to go well. Added second monitor. Everything fine. Initiated Download of Saitek X52 Pro (joystick) driver from Saitek.com. Saw, "please wait... Could take several minutes", (or words to that effect). Left room to make dinner. Came back 30 minutes later. Monitors black. Moving mouse did not rouse monitors back to life. Restarted desktop. Logged in to Windows as normal. Desktop came back up on both monitors, but there are no icons, no Start icon (lower left corner), no taskbar, no clock, nothing but background and cursor (which is controllable). Ctrl/Alt/Del does nothing. Right-click on background does nothing. Tried to reload Win7/64 to repair computer (using same OEM System Builder Disk used to install OS), but computer said that that disk didn't have the correct restoral software for the version of Windows on the computer. Right now my computer is just a brightly lit paperweight. Please help!
Thanks.
