x3lumin8x Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Can you boot into Safe Mode? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619672-stuck-at-preparing-your-desktop/#findComment-589206033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Live Veteran Posted February 14, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sounds like Explorer is hanging for some reason. Have you recently installed any shell extensions? Can you boot into safe mode? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619672-stuck-at-preparing-your-desktop/#findComment-589206977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Try booting into safe mode and opening a command prompt and typing "sfc /scannow" without the quotes.
