Pull the card, uninstall the drivers.

Start again, there is no reason for this problem.

No taskbar and icons on desktop

I installed a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit and installed all the updates. Now when I boot the system I get the Windows wallpaper without any icons and taskbar, no even the Start button. Please help me to fix this.

As default after a clean install the task bar should be there.
But take a look like lffoar posted to make sure of the settings.

What icons are you look for and where are you looking. On a clean install their will be few icons on the desktop.

Did you activate Windows 7?

Have you installed any programs?

Where did you get your copy of Windows 7?
It's starting to sound like the install media was corrupt.

** I think you know where I'm coming from; we need information in order to give guidance.

Hrant:

You have got to many thread started with this computer with the basic same problems.

All we do is get confused.

One problem, one thread, one computer works best.
