Newbie needs windows help (No desktop)
Hey guys I posted yesterday about my new eMachines T5212 with Windows XP Media Center. I took care of all the setup. Today I installed my SBC/AT&T DSL. It worked fine for a while but then I closed it out and shut down the computer, I turn the computer back on and when my desktop comes up it looks normal, but then like 5 seconds later all of my icons and my bottom bar with the start menu disappear. I tryed using the start button on the keyboard and it doesnt work either. I shut it down using Crtl/Alt/Delete and it did the same. I did it again except this time I clicked on my browser button really fast, the icons and bar disappear but my browser does pop up and thats how I'm asking you guys this question. I do have the "Operating System Disc" would that fix it. The instructions on the disc say
-To re-install the operating system:
Insert this disc, close all programs, restart your computer, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Is this all it takes? Or do I need to do something else?
