Hi there.

I recently re-installed windows for a friend, and told them that they would have to install their own software etc.

They did not get any anti virus stuff on there, and now when they load the machine, the dektop come us with no start bar.

Should I boot in safe mode and try and install and run AVG or Spybot?

Please help, the guy is an artist and all of his subjects for painting are stored on the machine, I just wanted to help out a mate.

Also, They have an Ausus motherboard, and no USB drivers, do USB driver normally come with the motherboard drivers? I think my gigabytes normally do.

TY>

An Aussie in need.

Is the start bar set to hide?

Otherwise this sounds like a hijack.
