I am having same problem--something is interfering with explorer. I cannot get desktop, start menu or toolbars to display. If I use task manager I can browse and run individual programs and if I ask it to lauch explorer.exe, the items controlled by explorer flash on briefly and then disappear. I have windows xp pro, with Norton Internet Security. I have done a full virus scan and run Ad Aware and Spy sweeper. I would really really appreciate help with this. Not clear from reading other posts what the solution is.
