[desperate] Desktop empty no taskbar

[Guest]

Hi, i have been trying to solve this from 5 days and my
computer still at the same point: after boot and xp's
welcome screen, my wallpaper is loadad and that's it !
No icons no start menu no taskbar no right clic available.
Just Taskmanager with Ctrl Alt Del. I can start
everything from there but not explorer.exe. I can see my
folders, my desktop (in documents and settings), Control
Panel, regedit...
I tried to restart explorer.exe but it only appears less
than a second and disappears.
i looked for viruses and it seems clean (no sysu.exe, ddm
folder or exex.exe as i found on this newsgroup).
Please, pleassssssse, i beg you a solution.
Kind Regards,
Sis

If you can get to the control panel can you look in the System Event Log
using the Event Viewer? See if there are error messages associated with
Explorer crashing. If you double click on an error in the log it will tell
you a bit more about the error. There is also a button to click to copy the
content of the error message to the clipboard so you can paste it here.

Thanks you very much for ur reply.

The error that appears at each boot is Winmgmt.

The Description is :
WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts.
This could be due to a badly installed version of
WinMgmt, WinMgmt repository upgrade failure, insufficient
disk space or insufficient memory.

ID:28

Hope you can help me with that!!
Thanks again.

if you have an xp cd then do a repair install, it will fix
your problems. you will have to down load all the security
updates again.

If you receive a message similar to Windows Management Instrumentation -
WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts, try the following:

1. Open a CMD.EXE prompt.

2. Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each one:

winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperf
