i have the same issue. If while in the taskmanager, i end the "explorer.exe" process it "fixes" the problem at the cost of loosing the cursor. i have also found that booting to a previous good setting only works about 50% of the time. When it does work the Task bar opens & closes while XP boots. When it does not boot properly the TaskBar Freezes in the open possition. i was hoping to find an answer here. until then i will continue to toy around with it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_co
