No desktop after Windows Welcome/Splash Screen
Within the past two days I have had a problem accessing my desktop. Microsoft KB correctly describes my situation: "The desktop does not load and only displays a black or blue background after you log on."
1. I have download the MS hotfix. Works once, then reverts to not giving me access to desktop.
2. If I power off my machine, I reboot into safe mode. I click "normal boot." Things work fine. But again, only once.
3. Today I did a system restore to an earlier date when I did not have this problem. Windows said it could not restore to the earlier date. (In between that date and today I removed some programs.) But when I restarted my machine, Windows gave the earlier date as the system restore point.
Still having the problem of getting to my desktop.
Any suggestions as to a fix?
