Hi everyone or anyone,
I am running a Windows 98 OS and am having problems loading Windows at startup. The wallpaper loads but that's it!!! No desktop items and no taskbar. I can run things through the task manager but I still don't know why my desktop won't load. I ran HijackThis and was hoping someone could help me understand the log file. Please help before I throw this computer off my balcony!!!!
What is good and what is bad?????? PLEASE HELP!!!
