XP Desktop doesnt load

Issue - User logs into to Windows XP Pro. Blue background Screen appears, but rest of desktop does not load. (Such as icons, or start bar)
Workaround - CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up task manager, select task list, on applications tab select New Task and enter explorer.exe. Then the rest of desktop loads.
This happens only on our XP workstations, not our NT or 2000 stations. Multiple novell clients involved include 4.7 and 4.8
