explorer.exe doesn't autorun
Hi,just a few weeks ago my computer was running smoothly. About a few days ago my taskbay started disappearing after i logged on. I think it is explorer.exe since it is not in the program list untill i run it manually. Is there anyway I can fix this?
*also while in safe mode,the taskbar loads aswell as explorer.exe Last edited by roadbiker; 08-01-2005 at 03:16 PM. |

what windows OS are you using? 98se/ME/2000/XP?
have you scanned your pc for viruses and spyware? virus tools: AVG housecall.antivirus.com spyware tools: adaware spybot microsoft antispyware if you dont have these download and install them. and run each program in safe mode to to detect any viruses and spyware.

i'm running xp:he. Yes i scanned using norton antivirus corp. edition and ad aware.Removed spyware cleanly,no errors after that.Virus scanned found more then i would suspected,seems to be someone disbaled autoprotect by accident most likely and had about 20 viruses.There were some trojans and what not but all were successfully quarantined.It wasn't till a few days later that the taskbar would fail to show despite systray loading everything.

since you had that many trojans on your pc, i would recommend running: housecall.antivirus.com in internet explorer just to see if it got all of them. run it in safe mode with networking.
my sisters pc had a similar problem with viruses except her norton antivirus wouldnt detect any viruses. i put AVG on it and ran a scan and it found 10 viruses. might want to do a repair install of xp from the recovery console if your still having the explorer problem. |
