    Today I logged in And I saw this.



    THuis is how it is supposed to look.

    http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/news/...6/stardock.jpg

    I Was like "huh, thats weird." Then I pressed the "windows" key on the keyboard and nothing happened. I then draged the mouse on to the bottom of the screen and nothing happened. I Finally went to the control panel and pressed the "windows and taskbar" icons and it would not open! I logged of 2 times, unplugged the pc restarted it and the problem percists. Help anyone?

    What operating system are you running?

    I suspect if you are using Vista and that is old, it wouldn't work. Go to your Control Panel / Add or Remove programs. See if the stardock appears in that list, and if so, uninstall it.

    Oh, and for Adware/Malware/Virus scanning, I like Lavasoft Ad-Aware for adware/malware and either AVG (free.grisoft.com) or Avast (avast.com) for antivirus.

    What ever you have installed it has changed the windows shell. I hate messing around with Windows Shell because if something goes wrong its a pain to put right.

    Go into add/remove programmes and uninstall the Warcraft stardock or whatever programme you installed to change your desktop.

    Yes, good idea, system restore. As long as your recent work (as in, the work you done after the last system restore point is created, which honestly won't be that long ago - a week at most I would think) is in My Documents then don't worry about losing work.
