Hi,

Try to boot in Safe Mode (pressing F8 repeatedly while the computer
boots and choosing safe mode with the arrow keys)
If the desktop shows up, go to IE > Tools > Internet Options >
Advanced Options and disable third-party browser extensions.

You can also try going to Start > Run > msconfig
startup tab
and disabling all entries, reboot, and if the problem does not appear,
enable the entries one at a time until you find what is causing this.

Good luck
