When I boot up normally all I get is the background picture an a firefox short cut, no taskbar or gadgets also all the other icons are missing. It won't respond to any command. When I start in safe mode everything is as it should be, I have tried the windows restore feature but to no avail. All help is and will be appreciated, Cheers in advance.
