Nothing will load once XP starts [Moved form ie]

Hi, I've had some trouble with Xp lately. I boot my PC normally and it loads fine until it gets to the desktop except the "explorer.exe" doesn't load! What's going on? I tried going ctrl+alt+del and run "explorer.exe" as well as "firefox.exe" and "iexplorer.exe" and none worked! I booted in safemode and the same thing happened! Please help, thanks

Re: Nothing will load once XP starts [Moved form ie]

Reinstalling is a little drastic at this point, lets try repairing it first.

Before you perform a repair installation of Windows XP, you must uninstall Internet Explorer 7. If you do not uninstall Internet Explorer 7 in this situation, Internet Explorer will no longer work after the repair installation is completed. Specifically, the repair installation does not restore earlier versions of the files in the Program Files\Internet Explorer folder. Therefore, the Internet Explorer 7 files will be incompatible with the Internet Explorer 6 files that are installed in the Windows\System32 folder.

I should have mention this before, but it happened just after I did an XP repair and yes, i had internet explorer 7 installed before the repair...

Well then I suppose a reinstall is the next step.
