Default No icons or taskbar

All of a sudden when I reboot xp I get no icons or taskbar. The wallpaper
comes up then nothing else happens. I can boot up in safe mode and see all
the icons. I am running xp sp3 with the latest updates on a quad core Dell
with two monitors. Before I rebooted everything was working fine. I tried
doing a system restore back a couple days with the same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick

I see the same thing sometimes with fast core-2 duo's and zone alarm.

Just power it off (long button press) and reboot, and eventually it comes up right.

It looks like a software race or something that amounts to a bug, but whose bug I don't know.
