Resolved How to get Desktop to Display

Hi,
I have a problem with win 7 ultimate, 64 bit. Don't know what caused it
but the entire desktop will not display. When booting a get a normal
boot up screen..then a green screen with a little circular dougnut rotating,
after the circle I get "Preparing your desktop ". After a minute or so of this
a black screen, when only my cursor shows. I hit Ctl\Alt\Del and another green,
normal window appears with the following 1. Lock This Computer, 2. Switch
user, 3. Log Off, 4. Change Password and 5. Start Task Manager. I have one
Icon at the lower right that is sleep,restart,shutdown. I've fought this for
several days but no joy. Have run several malware \virus programs, reinstalled
the OS from a backup. I can run several programs from the "new task" in the
task manager, but not too many..System restore will not run. I've done a
search on this site and the MS tech site and see similar black screen
fixes but they didn't help or I couldn't get them to run..I cannot run regedit.
Anyone ???

 

How to get desktop display

STEVE,
I can get explorer and now have a few icons on desktop, but only some run.
I can go to "all Programs" and see my installed programs but only a few will
run.

PETE,
I can now get into safe mode but have the same problems as regular mode.

TONY,
I can now run regedit but don't know where to go from there to get my
regular desktop to come up on boot.

I did try System restore and told there were no restore points(I know
there were but none were brought up).

TIA

 

Hi Tony,
I've went thru the virus/malware removal procedures..nothing.. I've also
reinstalled from two different backup images. These backups were made well
before my current problem..Also reformatted the partition before installing
the backup image. I'm at a loss !!!!
TIA
