Problem When i start up the laptop, it gets to the wallpaper screen then stops setup with the message, "Explorer.EXE-unable to locate component" The application has failed to start because UxTheme.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. What do I do??????????????

you should first run PSA diagnostics and ensure the hard drive is not failing (Fn+Power button at a cold boot)
If diags fail, new hard drive
If they pass try re-imaging the system

let me know...datarecoveryfactory

Does the start button work?  If not, run ctrl-alt-delete and go to processes.  Check for explorer.exe.  If it is not there, click on New Process and type EXACTLY explorer.exe and hit enter.  

try this for me when you get to your desktop

press ctrl+alt+del, youll get your task manger up, from the file option select new task (run) and type explorer.exe in there then hit ok

check to see if the explorer.exe is running in the processes tab before you add it, if its there right click and end process

let me know what you get,

You need to install the newest direct x into your laptop.
