  1. Missing Desktop?


    Hello there


    my laptop is doing something very odd. I am sure I did it myself but have no idea what I did or how to fix it!


    When I open up my laptop, rather than going to my desktop, it has something that looks like the search menu when you click on the bottom left of the screen. However, it fills the screen. To access anything I have to go to the task bar at the bottom of the screen and there is a button that shows me all the different tabs I have open and I can select one. Anything I do have open will only be in full screen!


    What the hell have I done!?


    Please help. Ta.

    :)

    DLL Missing


    I actually posted the link for the "list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your boost_threads.dll problems" which is located half way down the page. I did not mean to promote any downloads.

    Why don't I just go back and indicate that on my original post? That way there's access to the 'step-by-step' instructions, which are accessed via those green 'plus' signs next to the topics.

    If the link still needs to be removed, then let me know
