Hi Lobster and Francis -
Thank you both for your suggestions... they seem useful.
Because i am in intense training in this new job, i wasn't able to check personal mails until a few minutes ago, and by the time i read this, Her Lizzieness seems to have resolved everything but connecting to DSL.
So, i have no idea what the problem was, but she seems to have reinstalled XP on her own and voila, it works.
Scratching my head in amazement.
Thanks for the help.
love,
joyce

My immediate response is to boot up from the XP CD and see if a repair or restore option is available . . .
Do not ask me why this is happening though
- good luck
any other suggestions guys?

CTRL-ALT-DELETE for task manager (only under 2000 and up), go to menu, file, run
type in "eplorer" with or without explorer - perhaps it will start the
shell, perhaps not.
You might want to run anti-virus/trojan/spyware programs to see if
these detect a problem. Perhaps it is some malefic bootup application
that prevents the shell from starting.
Alternatively you could install another shell like litestep.
