Here's yet another for you.  Probably not your problem but...

Do you have an extremely complex bitmap as the background.  I was playing
with bitmaps and tried a complex (24 bit) image of a fire.  Thought  
windows was broke (again) and rebooted several times before I finally got
interupted and let the thing sit for about 5 minutes.

Taa Daa, waited long enough and the image appeared.  

So... the moral of the story, don't use a complex 24 bit image as your 
background... or if you do, don't ever, ever, ever shut windows down.
