I have XP home. When I select a user, it loads personal settings, displays the desktop
wallpaper, but doesn't load the toolbar or desktop icons. I don't know how to correct
the problem. I thought it might have a virus, but I scanned the drive on another
computer(as slave drive). Any ideas on how to fix this?

If you can CTRL+ALT+DEL and get the task manager see if anything is hanging the system
then boot to safe mode and try to get rid of it. If you don't se anything obvious
try starting windows explorer from task manager by going to File->New Task (Run)
and type in "explorer". If you can't get to task manager then go to safe mode and
run msconfig and uncheck everything from startup to see if some program is causing
the problem.
