Default Vista x64, computer only shows background


Whenever I start up my computer, all I see is my background. No icons,
no start bar, nothing. If I press ctrl+alt+delete, all I see is a black
screen (pressing escape goes back to my background.)
I literally JUST installed mass effect 2 and tried to restart to fix
another problem with the game not starting when this problem appeared.
Any quick help would be appreciated.
