MY PROBLEM:After starting Dell laptop in normal mode and signing it, you would progess to the desktop where you could not see anything , NO ICONS, NO START BUTTON, NO TASK BAR. You could however do Control-Alt-Delete and get to most everything. If you started in safe mode, the icons, start button, & task bar was there. We tried everthing....restores, last known good config...etc.etc. Talked to 100 techs. Finally last night a DELL tech found CSRS.exe in my startup. Deleting CSRS.exe ended our 5 month problem.
