Things have been strange on my PC lately. First my RAID array disappeared. I checked the cables, and then it worked again. Went to boot up XP. The welcome screen lasted about a minute (usually flashes on and off) then swapped over to the background of Windows, as if it were loading. However, that was it. I heard the sound that Windows had started, but got no Taskbar / Start Menu. I could start a couple programs via Task Manager, but couldn't start things like explorer.
Decided to do a windows repair. That worked fine, but removed my SP1 install. So I reinstalled that. Restarted, now my USB devices don't work. Nothing USB-based picks up, but it seems OK in Device Manager. Tried reinstalling the USB2 drivers from my motherboard CD, but nothing changed... Probably a long shot, but has anyone got an idea?
