Someone help me please. I think this is a bug but if it is not help me resolve it. After I installed ad u[dated to the 4.02 version I can not get a desktop screen. I just get a BLACK screen. My fingerprint login allows me to get to internet icons but I have no way to get to my desktop or MyComputer or system.

What do you mean by "allows me to get to internet icons". Where are the internet icons located - on the Taskbar? Which Windows OS are you running?

It is possible your installation of Classic Shell got corrupted.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up the Task Manager. Then go to File -> New Task. Locate the installer EXE and run it again, then uninstall the software. If you don't have the installer anymore, in the New Task box type www.classicshell.net to get to this site and download it again.

After you uninstalled, reboot a few times to verify that your desktop is working. Then you can try installing again.
