windows won't load after clean install
This computer was infected with a virus that wiped out all it .exe files so I attempted a reinstall of Windows 7. Everything loads up fine but for some reason the ethernet controller and PCI simple communications controller drivers weren't working but I have my Netgear wireless adapter that I installed to gain internet access. Windows update was asking me to restart, so I did. The start up process begins all the way up to the wallpaper coming onto the screen but to my dismay all the desktop icons and taskbar never load up. I then watched some tutorials to make sure I did the install correctly (I didn't delete the partition that had the first operating system), so I attempted another install of Windows 7, making sure I deleted all partitions, and the the installation was a success (thank God), so I started installing necessary programs (AVG, Goggle Chrome, Advanced System Care Free) and I was prompted to restart because of Windows updates.... I do the restart and then I get the same issue as before where it doesn't load the taskbar or desktop icons. I do another clean install of the operating system, download Advanced Systemcare Free and run all the optimization utilities to see if something is awry. The system restarts, and a registry defrag was scheduled, and runs until I get an error that says "C:\Boot\BCD is being defragged....... Failed". So I do more internet research on this issue, and successfully attempt to repair and then rebuild the BCD but I am still staring at this blank wallpaper.... I am at my wit's end.... can anyone help?
