i installed a Vista transformation pack on my copy of XP, i have uninstalled it but now when i reboot my pc i have no taskbar and no desktop, the only way i can access any programs (including the internet to write this) is by going through task manager and using the run facility to got to program files. Please help me out with this as it is doing my nut in! p.s, i have a copy of the real Vista, i think its the beta 2 release, but i uninstalled it as i was not able to use ero 7 on it and i use the program often, does anyone know if Ahead are planning on doing a Vista compatible Nero?

Don't know about Ahead, but see if this helps with your explorer prob:

go to start / run and in the run window type in:
sfc /scannow >enter

Have you XP CD in youre drive, and it'll run itself, replacing any missign or damaged protected XP files.

i have done what you suggested but it has not worked Any other ideas for me to try? i really dont want to format!

Hey smokeycheech!

I think almost every software producer will produce new software if the old is not compatible with Vista.
Please wait for a Tech Team members to reply on your problem.

Sounds like a repair install would be a good idea atm:

You'll keep all your files and settings, but you will have to update windows again when done.
