help! : explorer.exe - application error

[Guest]

Hi everyone..

i really need help with my computer, because i can't really use it right
now.. every time i try to log in, i get this error message : Explorer.EXE -
Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0000033). Click on OK to terminate the application. And then, when i
clicked on OK, nothing happened. Windows doesn't load anything anymore. So,
there is no taskbar, no desktop icons, nothing. I basicly cannot use my
computer. The only thing that works is Ctrl+Alt+Del combination keys, which
let me shut down the computer again. Can anyone help me with this? i would
really appreciate for your help..

thx before..

Log into safe mode and perform system Restore to an earlier date and see if
