windows starts up and brings me to the logon page, but when i put in my password it says that im logging on, takes forever but then never gets to the point where i can see my desktop shortcuts or the startbar or anything. Just sits at a picture of my desktop wallpaper.

Sounds like explorer.exe is not even starting, virus maybe? That has happend to me before and I had to reformat.

*edit*

Try this, control alt delete, then File > new task and type in C:\windows\explorer.exe

Odd how this happened on the big day the Karma Sutra virus was supposed to have launched! LOL

You can only get it from looking at emails that say "Hot Sexy girls gone bad" or "Sexy Teen picture here"
