Hi
Had a few problems a couple of weeks back with corrupt files, so had to fixed them. Doing that meant that all updates, drivers etc were deleted. Installing service pack 1 was not a problem, installtion wen't smoothly, however I needed service pack 2 for a few programs to work. Upon installing that, I restarted the computer only to find that it suddenly gets stuck on the desktop. The start menu, icons and everything else wasn't there, so I thought it was that explorer.exe wasn't loading. However it is in the processes list.
If you wait for around 5 minutes, the start menu loads but everything you click on it crashes the computer for around 30 seconds. One thing I did find was I could disable explorer.exe, and open every program directly through the task manager, which works fine. I've tried disabling all the programs on startup but that didn't make a difference. Safe mode works fine, without crashing. I've ran chkdsk with problems found and fixed, but that didn't make a difference.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
