Won't shut down due to User Space Manager not responding

[Guest]

XP will not shut down and receive message that User Space Manager is not
responding. When I click End Program, the dilogue box disappears and nothing
happens. Further attempts to shut down XP result in nothing happening.
CNTRL-ALT-Delete doesn't bring up Task Manager.

XP had previous problems where it would not boot up. In attempts to get it
working, XP was reinstalled on D drive, but did not grant me access to files
to C drive nor recognize any software, hardware, etc. Took laptop to shop and
they backed up all files and reinstalled XP on C drive including all drivers.
They did not uninstall XP from D drive and upon reboot it presents me with
two choices...one that points to XP on C drive and on that points to XP on D
drive. I deleted all files that I could off the D drive, but could not delete
all.

Everything worked fine for two weeks and now it will not shut down due to
User Space Manager.

Any ideas on how to resolve?

If not, try a Sytem Restore back to a point before the problem started.
