I have no ikons any more on my desktop. Tried recovery manager and it ends up not completing.

When I log on, after logging in I get my desktop, but no IKONs on the desktop, nothing in the task bar and I cannot do anything. I went to restore the factory settings by doing system recovery and it does not complete. Error log says couldn't find Edition's FB. CTO Panic condition...

Dear Crazy toad,

Thank you, but after getting as far as I could with a couple different people over the phone, I was able to get Windows 10 onto a flash drive and then, all by myself, got it to boot off the USB and reinstalled WIndows and it worked! I lost everything, but I didn't really care...glad to have a working computer again...especially the big monitor.
