hi!! when i recently started my computer, it dint follow the usual procedure of starting up. it asked for the password as it usually does, but further dint do anything. i mean nothing appeared on the screen and i had to start the applications with the help of task manager. now also it is not showing the desktop or start menu or anything else.. i ran a scan and deleted high risk files which included a worm.brontok.m and i also tried restoring the system. although the system is restored but still the desktop doesnt appear. please help. i cant even think of what the problem is...
