I have a vista laptop and ive had it since january but now the start bar is gone and so is the background and my computer is running slow I have scanned my computer and I dont think it is a virus

Try hitting Ctrl - Shift - Esc
File
New task
explorer

Is there a permanent fix to that problem? I have had the same problem since around the same time and have to run explorer everytime I start up....

You scanned for virus, but before trying the following you should also scan for spyware.

SuperAntiSpyware Free Version

If you have the Vista DVD, insert it - don't let it auto-start - click the Start Orb - type
sfc /scannow - this will replace corrupted or missing system files.

If no go, you may have to run a repair install.
