Vista Startup Error?

When Ever i start up windows Vista it just shows a blank white screen and the only way i can get it to work is if i use task manager and type in explorer.exe even though its already running. And its not a virus problem, or a problem with the video card. So yea, any help?

I bet you have some significant driver issues. Are you trying to use XP drivers, or did you get some new ones that claimed to be Vista compatible?
