Win XP Pro boots fine but when I select one of our two users, the blue screen
appears and then hangs. No icons, no taskbar, no Start button. The cursor
is the normal pointer, not an hourglass.
The only thing I can do is bring-up Task Manager via CTRL/ALT/DEL. Poking
around in Task Manager reveals 1) no processes are running, yet 2) CPU usage
is 100%.
From there I can select File/New Task and run any program I want, so at
least I can get at stuff. And, of course, I can shut down and reboot from
there.
But I cannot get to control panel or settings. I can get to windows explore
and view my directories, folders, files. I cannot get to the internet.
BTW, a support case was opened about a week ago but I've heard nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks.
