No taskbar or Icons?

This issue is really my fault. I was trying to download a song and a pop up said that I need to download and install a program to download the song. So I downloaded the program and Command Prompt appeared and said something like this "A Virtual Device failed to install". I click Close. When I restarted my PC, there was no taskbar or Icons, for a while the taskbar appeared, but it vanished, now it keeps appearing and vanishing, and, I can't right click the desktop. I scanned with my Antivirus, it detected 8 virus, I removed them. Then I scanned with my Anti-spyware, it detected like 5 spywares, I also delete them, then I scanned with Spybot, it decteted 4,I also fix that problem. But I can't see my icons or taskbar. Please Help! My version of Windows is Windows XP Home Edition SP2. Help! Best Answer, 5 star rating, and eternal gratitude who can help me with this issue.

Yikes. Just want to get out of the way that you should never, ever download things if you don't know what they are.



As for your issue, the best thing for you to do is use System Restore. When your computer is first booting up hit F8 before the Windows loading screen pops up (feel free to mash it a bit until the prompt appears) and you will be given a set of options. Choose Boot in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode you will be given the option to either work in safe mode or use system recovery - choose the latter and tell it to restore from a date before you downloaded the file.



You will not lose any information and your computer should be working swimmingly.

yep what lunach said........if you have a start button you can also just hit Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Just make sure you have everything else shut down (like email programs, browser etc.)
