I logged into my computer this morning and the screen was blue, although I could still see my house and move it around. I can also do Ctrl Alt Delete to access the Task Manager when I don’t see the explorer.exe. I know its supposed to be there but its not, I tried to manually start it by going to file new task and running it but it only runs for maybe 10 seconds? enough to see the icons on the desktop and the task bar, then they disappear. I searched online for a few answers but no real help. Im using another PC because I cant access the internet with my laptop that is have the problems. I was able to run hijackthis and put it on a thumb drive so I could post it here. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks I have ran ad aware and avast and both found something but didn’t fix it. I also posted this on http://www.techsupportforum.com . Thanks.

Lost FAT

I left an ISO disk with an imcomplete copy of Win XP in my disc drive and forgot it was there, so when it rebooted itself (yeah - ITSELF) It totally messed up my system. I now seem to have lost my FAT table for drive C. I was upgrading from Win 98. I put in the Emergency Boot Disk for Win 98, but it just tells me there is no FAT on the hard drive anymore. OK, so I loaded my Partition Magic rescue disks, and UNpartitioned Drive C, made it primary, and active - but it still wo... more
