So for the past few days, my comp's been acting weird. The taskbar is gone, the sound is gone, and you can't copy/cut and paste anything (ctrl x,c,v don't work). I've tried restoring my comp through cmd (since I cant get to it through taskbar), but it won't let me. Restarting doesn't fix the problem either.

All the programs act normally; I can play bots, go on firefox, etc.

Got any tips? D;

Open the task manager, and click "New Task..."
Tell it to open "C:\".

It sounds like your problem is that your explorer.exe (the Windows GUI) process is not running.
Running the task "C:\" runs the explorer.exe by opening a new GUI window.

explorer.exe is open in the process list btw ;o

Close the process and re-open it.
When you run the task "C:\", please tell me if a window comes up.

all the icons on my desktop disappeared... and when i try to run c:\ it says it couldnt find the file specified o.o

nvm... explorer is back and my icons are back

[Allie]

So am I still needed?
Or have you fixed it?

[t41nt3d_s1n]

still not fixed. ending  explorer and reopening it didnt do anything

[Allie]

The explorer is responsible for the GUI.
The taskbar, the icons, everything.
Are you saying SOME of the GUI is there, and SOME of the GUI is NOT?

[t41nt3d_s1n]

Yea. Task bar is gone. Icons are there.

i saw some forumers in other sites saying that the taskbar can go minimized at the botton of the screen

taskbar is completely gone, along with sound and some keyboard shortcuts. i cant unminimize it ;o

[Allie]

Right click an icon on the desktop and click copy.
Then right click the desktop and click paste.
Tell me if anything happens.

Or you could let me on TV, either works.
