I've seen this on here before. Your desktop is probably on another monitor. Wait for Baarod to come and help you with this one lol. I think he says to do something like hit windows key + left or right arrows.

Can you bring up the task manager with ctrl-alt-delete? Is explorer.exe running?

ctrl alt delete does nothing and as far as i know explorer is not running

if i restart the computer and try running in Safe mode it Says windows 7 is setting up for 1st time use

but then id get an error message Saying it cannot Set up as its in Safe mode
