Hey all, Can someone please help me out with the problems i'm having with my windows xp please.

Basically, Everytime i restart the pc, Windows will boot up normally but i cant do anything on it, The taskbar appears but no programs load up and i cant open my computer or anything.

So i have to ALT+CTRL+DEL and log off the account through their and when i log back in, Everything will be fine :confused:

.

Can anyone tell me why it freezes when restarting pc but logging off and back on fixes it? Thanks

I have a similar problem, but by booting using last known good configuration it solved it. Not sure what caused it in the first place though

Tried that and no luck

Anyone else?

Can you load up Task Manager? I used to have a similar problem where explorer.exe would freeze after a cold boot, but forcefully shutting it down via taskman and either re-launching it or restarting would solve it.

I eventually stopped it happening by going into explorer's folder options and disabling "Launch folder windows in a separate process". Yes, DISABLING - I know it's reccomended to keep that enabled for greater stability, but, apparently, it had the opposite effect in my case... :rolleyes:
