Sounds like maybe Explorer is not starting up...
Try going to Task Manager, look to see if you see explorer.exe listed under
the running processes...
If yes, then click it and choose to END PROCESS and continue below, if not,
just continue below...
Click FILE at the top of the window and select NEW TASK (RUN)...
If Windows is installed on the C: drive, enter this:
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe, otherwise chance drive letter to whatever drive
Windows in installed on...
This might work, or it might not.. Won't hurt anything to try.
