I have read posts in the forum and in other forums about this and nothing seems to 
exactly fit my situation or propose a solution.

I have just set up this computer.  It's a Intel Dual Core Quad Extreme, 4G RAM, Dual 
Nvidia 8800 GPU in SLI, with four monitors. 

When I first boot, I can use the Taskbar and Start up menu for about a minute, then 
it freezes completely, and never comes back.  If I want to use the menu for another 
minute, then I have to reboot.

I have run registry fixes, hijack this, spyware doctor, and antivirus until I am 
blue in the face.  About the only thing I haven't tried is wiping the boot disk and 
reinstalling XP.

Nothing else about Windows Explorer freezes ... just the taskbar and start menu. 
 I can work on the computer just fine .... as long as I have it set up so that I 
do not need the frozen bits.  Of course, to shut down, I have to go to the task manager.

I will post a hijack this log if anyone thinks it will help.
