Windows XP Boot Issue

Perhaps I could get some guidance.

Upon booting a Windows XP machine, I arrive at the default desktop screen and my task bar pops in place then disappears again. if I try and scroll my mouse to where the task bar should be, I get nothing. I am looking at the Rolling Hills wallpaper. I CTRL/ALT/DEL, I get the task manager. I opened up my DOS shell and attempted to run explorer.exe from the CMD prompt. Again, the program executes by flashing the task bar again....but it's gone in an instant...any suggestions?

Well I guess I solved my own problem...when in doubt...Restore....from the comman prompt, I navigated to through system32\restore\ and executed rstrui.exe which is the Restore Point executable. problem solved!
