You probably had an "Active Desktop"

Right Mouse Click 0n Desktop

Open Display Properties.
Click the Web tab in the Display Properties window.

If you wish to disable Active Desktop make sure that "Show Web content on my Active Desktop" is unchecked.

somewhere along the line you have either lost your drivers or they are corupt...either boot to safe mode >re-boot pc keep tapping the f8 key load windows normaly...>or with win98 boot disk..reboot pc with it in when it boots at the a:\>scanreg/restore and scan for bugs...if you dont have firewall download one like sygate...
