I have this set to shutoff display after 30 minutes, but when I wake up the display all of my icons, taskbar and sidebar are gone. I end up having to reboot the system.Mike

What happens if you hold down ctrl-alt-delete, choose to run taskmgr, and run explorer.exe via File, new task(run) in task mgr?

The screen goes black, and ctrl-alt-delete does nothing. I have to reboot the computer to get everything back to normal.Mike

There are so many reasons for that,* Useraccountis corrupt, try make a temp one and check..* Hard disk error, try to repaire using the windows setup disk disk* Log to save mode, start msconfig, startup tab, disable all, services tab, hide microsoft services.then-disable all other one's. restart normal and check.* check power saving options..
