I've had this happen on three different computers now. One had hard
drive issues, the others didn't.
If I have time, I may run a test on a known good computer. So far the
only solution has been nuke and pave.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

You checked the drive for damage?

I've run into this a few times before - the computer boots to Windows
but there are no icons (but the text heading for the icons appear). The
start menu doesn't.
I've always fixed this with a repair install/inplace upgrade but this
time this hangs at "collecting files".
I believe it's related to damage in the Default User folder.
Any ideas how to fix it?
