    Hi MAC 10381,

    This may be a malware issue. Can you recall the name of the program that was giving you the "numerous popups" and messages?

    The malware needs to be stopped so your desktop will load and you can clean the infection. It will be easier for me to recommend the correct fix if I know which program needs to be suppressed.
