Thunderbolt 2864 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi, I have a problem starting up Windows XP.It gets pass the Welcome screen, and the after that the whole OS stops loading. It doesn't bring up the desktop, it stays there. I can bring up the task manager, but for some reason explorer.exe won't start, though I typed it into the Run command, nothing happens. I reimaged my machine, same problem, nothing worked. Can you guys please identify this problem, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Try using safe mode (F8 on boot up) see if that will bring you to desktop. Did you make any substantial hardware or software changes around the time this started happening. Sounds like it's a driver issue, but then again it could be crapware instead. If you can get to safemode try running a spyware sweeper program (adaware, spybot...) and see what that brings up. If you did do some software installations, for an application or hardware, try removing that installation and restart.
