I was on the net downloading something I probably shouldn't have obviously or I would not be in this situation. I had a pop-up on my task bar saying I had a virus and needed to download and scan. I did not click on it in case it was more problems. My internet would not close and my computer was totally frozen. So I had to hold the power button and do a hard shut down. When I restarted my computer it went through the normal sequence of events that it would normally. I came to the log in screen and entered my password and my computer continued to do it's thing. My desktop picture appeared as it always does but that is where everything gets strange. My task bar does not appear nor does any of my icons. All that is showing is my desktop picture. I tried all buttons and mouse clicks to no avail, nothing is happening. I tried alt, ctrl, delete hoping to view my task manager and it doesn't work and gives me a message about my admin disabled the task manager. So I did a hard shut down again and tried booting in safe mode. It did boot in safe mode but still the same results. A black screen with no task bar or icons with safe mode in each corner. So that is where I am at and I need some help from all of you that are much more knowledgeable than me about this and I thank you in advance for any and all suggestions that might come my way as I need to get up and running so I can continue to have a job.
