Start menu and the taskbar are dead... windows explorer problems

B

banzai132

My start menu and the task bar (and associated programs) are not active. When
I move the cursor down there, an hourglass is displayed and no activity is
possible. I have tried reloading the windows operation CD but can't get past
the user end agreement. So the CD will not install.
I may have inadvertitily shut down a process in the task manager. But I was
guessing a restart would fix that mess up!
Thanks in advance, Bob

To reinstall xp, or repair xp,you need to boot to xp cd (set BIOS for
this.1st
boot priority cdrom,hd 2nd),the end user agreement is a press of F8 key
i believe.Also,if keyboard has USB & PS/2,try the PS/2 connection..
