Hola. Im new to the forums and im not positive if this is the area im suppose to post tech questions under but if its the wrong spot could an admin just move me to the appropriate spot. Thanks.
Ok, now my problem is that my explorer.exe is not loading at boot up. I have no desktop icons, no start bar, no way to view my computers files, other than Task Manager. ctrl alt dlt works fine and i can run Mozilla and most other programs. However i cant run the Ctrl Panel files or any other system programs. I tried deleteing explorer.exe but it replaced in a few seconds, though ive heard this is a windows function im kind of skeptic of a trojan. I tried running 'msconfig' and restarting with a diagnostic setup to see if it was a running program that was disabling explorer from starting but no luck. I tried safe mode but still no explorer/desktop. All i have is a background image. I ran Ewido, SpyBot, Registry Cleaner, Windows Defender, AVG, and AdAware all under safe mode twice and still nothing.
ANY help would be awesome. Ide really like to get this resolved within the week, without formatting and re loading windows. Oh and also the only forums i could find on anything similiar to this are old, like 05' and none of the solutions worked, so im assuming its a new build of an older virus? Anyways yea i gave as much info as possible on my situation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Note: Re installing windows is an option but i cant seem to figure out how, i cant access computer reboot files and the only CDs i can find that came with the comp are drivers not re boot discs. So, im not sure what to do.
