Start Menu disappeared after using latest windows updates?
      11/17/05 01:40 PM

Hello fellow Shroomerites,

I am having a problem with windows. It started after doing the newest windows updates. I have XP SP2 Corp. edition installed on my computer, it works fine, yada yada, Restarted after installing all the updates that were on the website, after I restarted, the welcome screen came on, took around a minute or two to boot past that, came up with my desktop background picture for another minute, then loaded my icons but never loaded the start menu. I bring up task manager and it gives the names of all the programs running, just not who's user account they are running under. I have narrowed it down to a windows update (I Think, I've reformatted 5 times in the past 3 days to make sure of this) but I'm not sure why it is causing this to do this at all. Has anyone ever had this happen with the newest windows updates or heard anything at all about this? It's really bugging me.

I've also tried system restore (doesn't load up at all) and safe mode, same with last known good configuration. Also, it seems my drivers/services are not loading up at all either as when I run an SFC /SCANNOW through task manager, it doesn't do anything and whenever I get a beep, it comes through the internal computer speaker, not through my sound card. Also, my internet connection (wired, DSL icon on desktop) does not do anything anymore.

Any tips or hints or anyone ever heard of this?
