I have just got a copy of Windows Server 2003 Corporate. On one PC it works fine. However on the other when I login explorer.exe starts but does not load the taskbar or icons. I have checked the drive for viruses using the most up to date definition files. When I boot the computer in safe mode it works fine. If I boot the computer in last good configuration it also works as the last good configuration was the installation. How can I get explorer to work?

If you boot up in last known good configuration and it works fine what's your problem? Surely next time it boots up it uses the settings from last known good configuration?

I would think so to but it doesn't seem to be working that way.
