EXPLORER.EXE hangs on reboot
Explorer.exe hangs on a reboot after displaying the background. No icons,
taskbar, mouse etc. (This is an updated post from yesterday, 'No Desktop, No icons.....) Killing EXPLORER.EXE with the task manager and restarting it brings back normal desktop icons, task bar on both machines. Re-boot shows same old problem but killing and reloading explorer works each time. What could cause explorer to hang on boot, but start ok on a restart? Thanks |

EXPLORER.EXE hangs on reboot
You don't mention in this thread how long this has been
going on and what possible event(s) immediately preceded it. You might look at this link (below) and activate boot logging in order to look for a clue. Also it's possible that a particular BIOS setting is being ignored when restarting Explorer, i.e. many motherboard BIOSes revert to PCI-video instead of AGP-video under certain circumstances. If yours is set this way it is possible it could cause problems in XP. It is unlikely. Also, have you checked for BIOS updates for your motherboard ? http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...ion/windows/xp /all/proddocs/en-us/boot_overview.mspx Good luck ! -----Original Message----- Explorer.exe hangs on a reboot after displaying the background.
