windows explorer won't load

I am running Windows XP home, and have encountered a problem with windows explorer, in that every time I try and access it from anywhere it won't load up, instead the taskbar disappears and then comes back again and I get an error message.
This problem followed after I inserted a cd with various software programs on it and the start up menu for this cd had 'an error with the mainboard' (I think it said).

Try this, click on: Start My computer Whatever your hard drive's name is Windows Windows update setup files ie6setup
Internet explorer should start to reload via a download from MS as opposed to using the files already installed on your PC or from the Windows CD.

Actually I have no problem with Internet Explorer, it is Windows Explorer or My Computer that will not load.

DOH!! I should have read that a little more carefully.
Have you tried a system restore?
How about this(from the command line) sfc /scannow
The command line is acessed by clicking Start Run type in "cmd" (no quotes) Now enter the sfc /scannow command. You will need your Windows CD if prompted.
