    Every once and a while my laptop, when logging in it will stay at the log in screen for 3-5 minutes then won't load the windows explorer and won't have my back ground or start button. My only option is to use taskmanager to run programs. Any info on this would be appreciated

    If you have the restore disc I would do that. That is going to be the best bet. To me there is no point to try and fix windows when you can just re-install everything in less time. :p
