I have windows XP (I don't know if that matters) and after I turned my computer on today and logged on when my screen came up it was blank. All of my icons and my start button are gone. I have tried to restart it several times, and I have checked and everything is plugged in alright. How do I get my icons back?

I've been looking over processors for a while now and I'm a little confused with pricing. Is 66 mhz fsb really worth that much more, cause that seems to be the only statistical advantage to all of the intel processors. The price seems to sky rocket with on the intel side for what i assumed to be merely the same processor excluding the maker. Correct me if I'm wrong though, the Amd 2x and the intel core duo are the same thing, so compared side by side with the same ghz and basically the same fsb (1000 vs 1066) what are the other reasons if any for the pricing for intels to be so much higher???

It keeps asking if I want to run a system restore (or if I want to run "Last known good men") and says
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is either missing or corrupted. Then, no matter what I select, it keeps recycling to the black screen, asking me how I want to recover from the problem.

Does this sound like a hardware or software problem?

I've got a 2002 HP Pavilion running Windows XP.

Am I screwed? Is it worth calling Geeks-on-call or should I trash it and buy another PC?
