CDE doesn't start

Hi When I input my login and password, the Welcome screen of Solaris comes up and freezes for a couple of mins and then goes to a black screen (mouse pointer, busy, still visible). The Solaris wallpaper comes and goes away. Then appears the Solaris User registration form (but I am unable to type anything in it). It's also showing the cpu and disk usage applet on rt top corner and mouse poiter. That'a about it. What could be wrong? Any suggestions?
