computer freezes on wallpaper

Windows is freezing on the wallpaper.  The desktop icons do not appear and the start menu does not work.  The system tray will appear for an instant.  When I enter alt-control-del, hidserv is listed.  The computer continues to be locked up after I select hidserv end task.  At some point, I was going an error message about kern32 but it no longer appears.  I tried following the suggestion in the faq about restoring a prior successful registry, however, it did not work.  I tried to edit the win.ini file but I am not sure what, if anything to delete. Help!
