    Hi,
    I have an acer aspire 5610 and am having a problem. Everything was working perfect then randomly one day it went black. When i log in it still has the windows sign and everything but when i am in the desktop it is black there is no start bar or Icons or backround. Basically my GUI is gone. but i can still see my mouse pointer. I found that i can run programs by opening task manager and clicking file and start new task then browsing on what used to be my desktop for the internet icon. this works and everything works as it should. but i get an error message fo most all programs other than internet.
    i have attached screenshots of my desktop and of the error message that pops up.
    at this point i dont care about salvaging the stuff on my comp just want to reset it back to factory defaults. I have tried recoverry CDs that were made and it doesnt recognize them, i cant get to eRecovery due to the error message

    I dont know what to do anyone have ideas

    Thanks
    Stephen

    Sorry didnt have the time to look at your pics in real detail, got my own comp troubles right now, but my quick thought is to reinstall Windows you could have picked up a bug online somewhere and the reinstallation would probably fix that. Just make sure to back up any important info before you do this.

    Yeah this will be hard to fix. You have system restore enabled?
