Ok so out of no where im on bootcamp ( im in windows right now) and my computer freezes so i shut it down and go back in windows and all that loads is the background nothing else. the mouse will move around but there isnt anything to click??? ive been told hold control+alt+delete and look for explorer.exe when i only found iexplorer something and it doesnt work.... :confused: Please help me im iin need:mad:
 
Well, you found iexplorer.exe as a running service / application but what you need to do is, WHILE in Crl,Alt,Del - Task Manager, Click New which will show you a Run... dialog and type in Explorer.exe in that box, hit enter. This will start the GUI commonly referred to as Windows. :)
Also, if it gives you grief in the future, many times you can get into task manager and end the Explorer.exe service and restarted it via this same method. Could save you a reboot / time.
