Available for free, intoLive is a nifty app for iOS that lets you effortlessly turn any video or GIF animation into a live wallpaper for your iPhone.

For the last month or so, I've been running an ongoing experiment: Seeing how long I can use Windows 10 (and only Windows 10) before I give up and go back to my Mac. Here are the apps, tools, and utilities I've found to be most useful in making the Mac-to-Windows transition just a little easier. It's worth noting that most of these are actually Windows 7 or 8 apps that run just fine in Windows 10 —. And if you have suggestions for any Windows apps that do the job better than what I'm listing here,. This is an ongoing experiment.

Everything on my desktop has disappeared on my Sony Vaio laptop. It's running XP Professional (I took it in for some work running XP home and it came back with XP profeesional - now I don't have the proper backup). When I boot it up, the XP screen comes on with my user accounts. Regardless of which account I choose, I get a blank screen with just the wallpaper.

I have to shut down with the task manager. Starting in safe mode produces the same results (last know good configuration does no good either). If possible, I would like to salvage some files before a reformat if it is necessary. Is there any way I can recover the desktop? You somehow corrupted your explorer.exe or changed a registry setting for it to look for a different file when loading the shell. If you corrupted explorer.exe, best bet is to do a repair or system restore. To check if explorer.exe is set to your shell: Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager.

Click File>New Task. Type REGEDIT, click ok. Click the plus sign next to these entries: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT Click the folder WINLOGON in the box to your right, find the entry Shell.

If the data correspondig to it is not Explorer.exe, double click Shell and modify it to Explorer.exe. Close the registry, Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager. File>New Task. Type explorer, click ok.

Using your instructions I checked the entry Shell and it was set to explorer.exe. However, explorer would not open through New Task by typing explorer. Explorer also would not open by browsing to it's location in Accessories, nor would it open from the shortcut I had placed in the desktop folder. I can open most everything else by browsing in New Task, but all programs aren't there in System Tools, such as System Restore which I would like to try. By the way, the task bar will briefly flash as if it were trying to appear.

Is there anything else I can do? Get your XP CD handy and go to start run sfc /scannow(with the space after sfc) choose the repair option from the four options you get, and this will reinstall any system files that are missing/corrupt directly from the disc. If you can't access the Start Run use the TaskManager to start CMD.EXE then run the sfc command. Also, have you tried a system Restore?

Here is a link for using it from a command prompt. You didn't mention, but can you run Internet Explorer? From the command prompt try running IEXPLORE.EXE. If it too doesn't run open REGEDIT from the command prompt and try deleting these two keys (should resurect Explorer and Internet Explorer): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Image File Execution Options explorer.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Image File Execution Options iexplorer.exe. I tried deleting the things u said but they werent there wen i went to look for them when i reboot my laptop a window pops up that says something about the application (explorer) has failed to start and i should try re installing the application. Now i can run firefox but only through my task manager and i have no icons or start menu its just the wallpaper.this happened after a prompt for me to upgrade my explorer was made and i clicked ok and after it finished installing it asked me to restart, so i did and now i dont know what to do please helpppp plus i just had my laptop formatted.

I had to re-run it leaving it set on “split sets”. IMPORTANT- MA doesn’t read “merged sets”. Mac emulator for pc. The result is now your main ROM set/folder, also where you ‘point’ MA. *Instead or rewriting what Saltbee has put together, look up arcadecontrols.com forum 'Maximus arcade noob questions' and follow the article.
