Restart your PC in "Safe Mode with networking" (tap F8 repeatedly during boot up) and download and install IE7 from Microsoft's website.

Reboot in "Normal Mode" and all should be well.

Since SP 3 is so new and probably still has bugs, you'll have to contact Microsoff. Which isn't surprising, since they pulled the same thing with SP 2, putting it out and then people downloaded it, having all sorts of problems. Which is how they learned about all the bugs from the program that needed to be worked out.

Did you replace uxtheme.dll for user themes programs like brico pack?

If you did, it is most like the acl (access control list) of the patched uxtheme.dll that is causing the problem.

open command prompt:
cd c:\windows\system32
cacls explorer.exe

Check if "BUILTIN\Users:R" is listed.
If not, then grant Read-only access permission to all users:

cacls explorer.exe /e /p "BUILTIN\Users":r

This should fix the problem. If not do the same to explorer.exe, and other dlls that is loaded during log in.

Good luck
