When my computer starts up, it gets past the welcome screen in XP, then the
background loads with no icons or anything else and it freezes right there.
If I press control, alt, delete then simply exit out of the windows task
manager that pops up, my regular desktop loads and everything is normal from
there. I have no clue what could be causing this and I am open to all
suggestions. Thank you.
