There was a power outage and my PC turned off. I had IE open and MSN there really wasn't much, but now when I turn on the PC it doesn't want to start up. It loads the OS but after the Windows XP screen it turns black and hangs. It sometimes brings up the desktop but most of the time I have to push Ctrl+Alt+Del to get any farther. When it does finally get off the black screen the desktop comes up, as in the bliss background and then it says loading personal settings, that window comes off. Then that's it. No Icons no Start Menu no Explorer. The comptuer works fine in Safe Mode but I don't wanna use safe mode all the time. It's all cheap looking and some programs don't work. I didn't install anything recently and I wanna use System Restore as a last resort, and re-installing as a last last resort.
Please help soon.
Ask if you need more info, thank you.
