It startet for a couple of days ago. I did make sure all my programs is XP compatible before I installed them. I have a ASUS CUSL2-C MB, PIII 1000MHZ with 512 megs of Apacer RAM 2 IBM 60GXP 40 GB HD, Creative SoundBlaster Live Value soundcard, Logitech Cordless Keyboard and Mouse. Explorer.exe is that my Taskbar ?? It's like Explorer.exe is "hanging" during startup and won't let other programs start up, my cursor becomes the Hourglass when I move it to my taskbar during this. I noticed that my Antivirus NOD32 apperently is the first that loads up in a succesful boot. Besides that my E-Mail client (Incredimail),AudioHQ (SoundBlaster), ITouch(Logitech keyboard) is starting up and shows Icons in my taskbar. John

Sometimes when I starts my Win XP Home, it will not load my startup programs (Icons besides the Clock)and when i then try to restart the comp, a box appeares with the message that XP will try to shut down the program "explorer.exe" who is not responding ..... any ideas ? John
