After re installing adv. Server as a update all the Icons came back and the programs run wonderfully well. There is in the system a driver for NT that is old and needs updated.!

This really isn't an answer, but I believe more information is needed. How long has your server been running? Did this problem just happen, or did you install any hardware/ software? Can you get into Task Manager when you boot normally. If so, checkyour processes, see whats running, also check performance, see what your proccessor is doing. If you can get into sage mode, there might be a service or device drive that is causing the problem. good luck

The Server has been running since July of last year and no I havent put any software on it lately and it has been working , just at times it is slow!
The OS has been great, but some applications need help to operate correctly. It is working now, but I need to know what to do or not to do next time!
