This morning, I started up my desktop with the monitors off, so it came up in 640x480 or something useless. I rebooted and logged into KDE and got an error message saying "Taskbar applet cannot be started". I logged out and logged back in. This time it was silent but I still have no taskbar or desktop, and Control Centre doesn't start up. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this, or where the error is logged so I can work out what's up? Cheers Ashley PS i sent this from the wrong email in case it shows up again later
