O.P. [Solved] Explorer won't load - blank screen
I have a problem when trying to log on to my PC. The PC has five users - all with administrator accounts - and every time one of them tries to log in, it won't.
After entering the password the usual Windows logon sound plays, the user tile goes to the centre and says 'logging in' (or whatever it says), but then that's as far is it goes. The screen either stays as that or occasionally the user's just wallpaper loads. I am able to open Task Manager but am unsure what to run to get the desktop to load. I tried running explorer.exe but this just opened the My Documents of that user.
I have also tried booting in safe mode but this just replaces the logging in/wallpaper stage with a black screen with safe mode in the four corners.
I have no idea what has happened, it worked fine last night. I performed a few virus checks by running the programs through Task Manager but nothing was found.
[If it may help solve the issue or is linked, the Internet connection has been acting strange for the past two days. It says there is a connection but web pages would not load and MSN would not sign in. This applied to the wireless laptop on the same network but this is since working fine.]
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
