Yep... I reformated last week, shit happens.

I reformat again, everything is fine until today... I just rebooted my computer and well, nothing happens. explorer.exe wasn't loading and I was just looking at my backround.

So I'm thinking, great, I'm screwed now.. but then I opened task manager and used the run feature... I can browse everything on my computer and it's how I opened Firefox. All my files are still there, so it's clearly only an explorer.exe problem.

Anyone know how to fix this or had similar problems? Using the task manager and browsing to open every program is okay, but I like my task bar and desktop better. :P

edit: And btw, when I try to launch explorer.exe, it opens for 2 seconds, loads the task bar and closes up. It seems it either crashes when loading or something is forcing it to close.

edit2: Just tryed opening defrag, same stuff.. closes alone.

could it not be a case of doing this?

open task manger>file>newtask and then type explorer.exe?

this might help. if not then i have no idea!

Put XP CD into cdrom: START > Run and type: sfc /scannow.

and try as well: Start > Run type: REGSVR32 /u shell32.dll
then:
REGSVR32 shell32.dll
