Would explorer run from task manager?
Basically I appear to have the same problem. When I boot my computer it goes through starting Windows XP and then very briefly loads explorer so I get a glimpse of the task bar and then I am left with a plain bright blue screen. I start Task Manager and carry out the instructions in your earlier post (the mouse works). The sfc command brings a DOS window very briefly and then back to the blue screen. There is CPU activity for about a minute, but explorer still loads and stops.
My computer is semi home built with an AMD processor. Originally it had two drives. All this started when I tried to change the partition with Windows XP. It was too small. That drive also had a boot partition and the other drive was just storage. It now has one drive with the original boot partition and a new bigger partition with a re-installation of XP but only SP1. The original had SP2 and I am wondering if that is causing this problem.
Any help would be marvellous.
