When you say "explorer.exe is coming up twice in the process table" do you mean that it is showing up in the Startup tab of msconfig? Because you don't need to have it there at all unless you WANT explorer to open automatically on startup. I don't have it listed in my startup tab and my system is fine. If it is showing up there you can uncheck both instances of it. Maybe that will solve your problem.
