Hello,
I encountered this today, where after installing xp sp2 i could do
nothing after login. No icons or startbar. I could however do the
following
ctrl alt del, and then go to task manager "explorer" would not run. I
was however able to run appwiz.cpl (add remove programs).
Removed service pack and all ok. :)
