Blank XP · DIGIT-ARC

While I was surfing, suddenly all programs closed off immediately and I could only see the desktop with nothing. I can now only open programs with Taskmanager, but can't open Explorer.exe. Also there is no explorer.exe in the active processes and if I try to open explorer, the icons and all come back for a moment then again go off then again and again until at last nothing comes. What's the problem? I think virus attack but avast doesn't find one.

try runnin this
press alt-ctrl-del then new task then type desktop
it may wrk

'desktop' is not a task on Windows. For some reason, Explorer is quitting again and again on his computer.

may be a virus attack stopping applications(process) to run.
scan ur system with some good antivirus.
if that does'nt help reinstall the system.

U are infected from virus.Turn off system restore point........login in safe mode..and do full system scan using one good updated antivirus and two good updated antispyware.

U can use following software to find the serial key:

And if u want to find it manually, then open the "I386" folder and look for a file named "winnt.sif" or "unattend.txt". These files should contain the serial key.

I am also facing same problem..i scanned my computer with Spybot & Avast but nothing happened..at last i copied explorer.exe from my friend's computer & renamed it to something like exp.exe & done some registry editing in the Winlogon changed the Shell & System key to exp.exe & now it is working fine
