TaxmannEA Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 We set up a desktop on our system to replace one that had died earlier this year. Win 7 was installed as the OS. It is linked to our network. I had installed the links for Drake as well as Microsoft Security essentials and Malwarebytes. Everything was working OK at that point. i downloaded Open Office today as the machine couldn't read PDF and Excel files. We use this on the other desktops on our system. After the download, I noticed that the installer had added another anti-virus program to the desktop. I uninstalled that program. When I re-started the computer, it booted up except that instead of the desktop with the icons,I just have a black screen with the mouse cursor. I'm at a loss. What should I do, or is the answer to restore the system and re-install the OS? As you can tell, I know just enough to be dangerous. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Pacun Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 right click (I was going to say on a blank spot on your desktop but it is all blank) on the desktop and view and show your icons. Another one to try is to start explorer from task manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
