A beaten man

Hello to all, before I begin I would like to say it's great to be here and I think the help and support you all give is a generous, kind and selfless act on your part.
Taking the time to help others with no personal gain is something I have lots of respect for....:wave

So here is the problem, I de-fraged a friends computer and half way through the desktop disappeared, I still had a mouse and a wallpaper but couldn't get anything else apart from windows task manager Ctrl/Alt/Del. I rebooted in safe mode and all I get is a black screen with 'safe mode' in every corner ?
Then I tried to reboot at the last clean load point as XP allows and still no desktop, I did create a system restore point before I started but how can I get to it if I have no desktop ?

The other problem is I don't have the PC in front of me so could I get some clue of what to do, and what did I do wrong ?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this
yours sincerely
