Hello Sue,
Boy that is a tough one.
I have to ask you a question.
When you re booted, did you actually turn the machine off?
If not then I would try that first.
If it doesn't work then do this.
Re boot and Hit the F8 key to enter the Windows menu system,
this is before Windows loads.
Select safe mode from the menu.
Let the computer boot into safe mode.
When it is done completely loading, click on the start button,
then select restart and let your computer boot normally.
This should actually fix it although I cannot promise because
each machine is different,
but it has worked on some machines that I have done this to.
You know Sue, This is one of Microsofts biggest downfalls in my
humble opinion.
They do not have a safe and reliable way to restore your
operating system back to normal. never have.
So what are you to do?
Well I highly recommend that you get yourself ERS9x.
In your case, The moment you found out that you had no systray,
you could just
restart your computer into REAL DOS and type a simple command
and have windows
restored in just a few minutes. No fuss No muss.
Simple program that does one thing really well. Protect your
Windows operating system.
That's what it does. It provides you with insurance against this
type of problem and many others.
