XP Pro wont start

[Chrono]

hiya fellas

i have just run into a bit of a problem.

AS is start XP, it starts to log in, but then just stays on my desktop screen, without loading anything, no menu, icons, nothin. I can Ctrl-alt-del, and it comes up that looks like most, or all processes are running fine.

I have tryed safe mode, and start with last known good config, and these have done nothing. Safe mode comes with the same thing normal did.

I havnt done anything out of the ordinary to make this happen.

THe only thing i can think of is a few virus scans, and an unusual amount of trojans found, which i just clicked heal, and a few had to be deleted, using AVG free.

can anyone help me, i have important yr 12 work on there that i hadnt got around to backing up yet.

Plz, i rally need this to work without losing any documents.

thx

In Task Manager you can still browse your harddrive and save your document on a floppy or rewritable CD.

Also run system restore by clicking on file \new task and type rstrui.exe
