I haded this problem, if you still have the installation disk, Boot via Disk, and say "System Repair"

if not, w/e your phuked.

Just go to task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) new tast, explorer.exe

All it is is explorer.exe.

If it happens again, end explorer.exe via (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and then clikc start a new process and enter explorer.exe

It happened to me once.
