I did a system restore on my girlfriend's system (XP Home) and when it came back up after restarting, the log on was normal but once the desktop came up there were no icons or task bar. All I can do is ctrl-alt-del and shut it back down. I tried opening in safe mode with prompt to get back into the restore function with the string microsoft provided (%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe) but when the restore window opens, it is empty. Anybody have a clue as to ehat I can do to correct this before she kills me for trashing her pc?
