Question about Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook

Blank screen. Everytime I turn on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, the display Icons and bottom toolbar would disappear leaving me a blank desktop. I used the window task manager to open my programs. Can you please advice what to do to get my icons and bottom toolbar back on the desktop. Thank you.

Everytime i turn on my Dell inspiron 6000 laptop, my Taskbar, where start is supposed to be at the bottom has disappeared. I thought at first that i had pulled it down under the screen, but then that didnt work when i tryed to move it back up. My laptop is fairly new though, so i would of thought that this wouldnt occur.

TweakUI won't fix it. The "bottom toolbar" (it's called the taskbar) and your desktop icons are all run by a program in windows called Explorer. Explorer has likely failed to start up correctly, and this is usually because of spyware. You'll want to try rebooting the system into safe mode (press f8 during system startup, right before the windows logo screen), and select "Safe Mode with Networking" so we can get online, hopefully. Now download a tool like Spybot Search and Destroy if you don't have it. It's anti-spyware, and usually fixes most of these types of problems. Make sure to update it, and then do a scan.

The other way to solving this problem is going into safe mode, then hit the cltr+Alt+del, then the task manger opens, the type the mscnfig, then the dailogue box opens, then you click on the tab were it says system restoration. click there and then take it to previous date. after the system restarts, please run the anti-virus on the system.
