I've seen this happen when you add a bad printer driver.  Have you added
any printers or print drivers recently.  The "freeze" can occur when
someone submits a print job (although sometimes it results in a BSOD
with the specific print driver that caused the problem).  Check to see
if you have an application dump in system32.

(1 Citrix Server, Windows 2000 SP2,Metaframe XPs FR2)

This morning the Citrix server is regularly locking up.  Users that are
= currently in Citrix the applications running freeze, but they can
start = new applications from the start menu which then freeze
themselvies after = a few minutes. =20

Anyone trying to log in, either via the Console, RDP, or ICA, it allows
= the userid and password to be entered but then hangs with just the =
desktop background showing.  The only thing that I can do then is reboot
= the server.

Once the server is in this state, I have managed to launch Task Manager,
= and the CPU usage is around 90% to 95% idle and memory usage is low.

The only thing that appears in the event log prior the server getting in
= this state is the informational application log message:

Source: Winlogon
Event ID: 1002
Description: The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was =
restarted.

The server has now done this 4 times in the last 2 hours.

Any ideas as to why this is happening, or any pointers to=20

I would be very grateful for any help on this!

Thanks,
