Hi apohis71
Try a System Restore if you can see the start button that is.
Press Start>All Programs>Accessories>SystemTools>System Restore.
Restore the computer to time before this occurred.
Let us know.

Ok...thanks for the info! Let me see what I can come up with for you in the way of a solution. Don't toss it in the swamp just yet. This seems to be a common issue.
Other members may offer their help also, be patient.
