Ive rebuilt the string tables, for fun...
But still running into the same problems, if I load the updates (which seems
to go fine) and reboot.... machine starts up very quickly, doesn't load all
services or programs and explorer cannot be started (or rather it'll start
very briefly, flash the task bar and then quit without an exception)
I can start

The latest updates (not sure which of the 14 just yet) keep explorer from

I can open programs via Task Manager... but no task bar, no icons, just my
desktop wallpaper.

Have you tried a "regsvr32 shdocvw.dll" already on your secret Windows
version?

Sorry; winxp sp2

registering the dll noted below makes no difference.

Hm, do you have the exact error message for us? Have a look into the
Event Log (Start -> Run -> eventvwr.msc).

Bye,
