Explorer error

ok here is the problem, i boot up my sister's laptop, i get the windows explorer error almost at once. I cant open up any windows. The start bar and desktop icons go away, and when i try the task manager it crashes on that also.

The laptop was working fine until we shut it down, put in the wireless card we have for it, and booted it back up. I can run programs i had shortcutted on the keys. I ran nortan and it found nothing.

The computer is a Dell insperion 5100. I dont remeber the exact details of it.
The wireless card is a d-link dwl-g650

Any know what i should do?

You could try booting into Safe mode and removing the wireless card and see if that fixes it. If not, Boot into the Startup menu by tapping the F8 button while booting and select Last Known Good Configuration.
