Default Black Screen startup

Hi, I recently installed DesktopX a Stardock application, which I didn't find to my liking so I uninstalled it... ever since, each time I start up my pc the following happens:
  1. normal boot up
  2. sign in to my account
    • my normal desktop background is gone
    • its now a black background
    • my documents window appears
    • NOTHING else happens... no taskbar... pressing windows logo key doesn't bring up menu... no nothing

What I have to do to fix this, is to:
  1. bring up the task manager (thru ctrl+alt+delete)
  2. choose to run a new task ''explorer.exe''
  3. TADA...

just THEN do I get a normal boot of my desktop, applications, taskbar, etc...


I used spybot to check which applications ran when i started my system, none that I didn't have before... Should I scan my system for viruses or something? This really pisses me off, starting my system and having to do a whole drill to make it start correctly.
