I have the same problem and also explore.exe could not load so I'm without
desktop.
My windows 2003 server is working fine for file sharing , web and everithing
else is working. No error message in event viewer, anything. Doesn't seem to
be a virus, no strange traffic on the lan, no bad process...

Please help me
