    Hi.
    I've got my win7 running for about 3months now. Now sometimes after i wake up the computer from sleep mode, whole start menu except the start button just dissapears. All programs are still running and i have to kill explorer.exe in taskmanager and than run it again in run window. Can you help me out guys? thank you very much :)

    Can you remember the last time it worked correctly? Notice any extra processes running when this occurs?

    I think you might need to give your computer a good scan as you may have brought something into your system with that screensaver. I've done it myself before. Also you may want to remove that screensaver and see what happens.

    When that happens, try press 'Windows Key + D' twice.
