If anybody KNOWS how to fix, please post.
Hardware:
Pentium 4 - GHz
1 Gig RAM - Kingston 333 matched kit
Win XP pro
Win updates current as of about 3 weeks ago
Background:
System was running normally 2 days ago. Started the PC in the morning,
appears to start normally, login with user name & password - I get a
background, but nothing else.
Mouse moves the pointer, but right click does not work.
No Icons, No Start Button, No Task Bar.
ctrl-alt-del brings up Task Manager.
Starting Explorer as a new task - the start bar flashes on for about 1
second, then is gone.
I have tried:
safe mode - no change
last good config - no change
msconfig, uncheck all but essential in all tabs - no change
chkdsk - no errors found
Made sure that no Firewalls were running (MS or third party)
Uninstalled my antivirus (NAV 2006) - no change
Seagate Tools & OnTrack - No HDD errors, No data errors
remove the HDD, put into another system - virus scan using Symantec CE, AVG
Malware 7.5, NOD32, F-Prot (all current) - No virus found
Checked technet - followed the 3 suggestions - no change
Installed new RAM - no change
Replaced video card - no change
repair install of Windows - no change
Delete Explorer.exe & Iexplore.exe, repair install of Windows - no change.
Hiren's 9 & UBCD 411 both show all hardware is good
System is NOT part of a Domain
All external devices have been disconnected - only Monitor, Keyboard/mouse
are currently connected.
If you have had a similar problem & fixed it, please let me know.
