Do a complete defrag, and clean out your prefetch folder.

Did you install Zone Alarm or mess around with any Install Sheild applications? They both did that for me.

I got a pretty similar problem. It always recognized a problem with Explorer.exe just after startup. Made a recovery installation and everything worked fine again. Full stop.
