Windows Update installed some updates recently. I do not know which ones they
were, but most likely ones that came out in the past 2 weeks I think? After
restarting the computer, the login screen became the NT-type dialog box
instead of the MSN explorer-type login that had previously been displayed
(where you click the username instead of typing it in; I believe this should
be displayed for xp home, not pro?). After I logged in, the computer would
hang for a bit, and after about 10 seconds, I would get an error message (the
one with error reporting) saying Windows Explorer had crashed and no further
response from the computer. Task Manager would appear with ctrl-alt-del, but
trying to run an app using file>run made it freeze. No further action has
been possible with the computer. I tried safe mode and last known good
configuration, but these have not changed anything. Any help is greatly
appreciated!
