After windows update, my computer can't start

Last week the windows xp start went apparently as usual until the
computer reaches the last screen: the widows desktop, and I wait and
wait but the icons and start button are not displayed, only the
background photo of the desktop.

I try restarting again and again, with always the same result, until I
start pressing F8 and start error-proof and in this way it starts
correctly. I restore a previous version of the system (it seems each
day it stores a system backup) and I can start normally (not with F8
error-proof).

The following day windows is updated automatically and also norton
antivirus and either this same day or the following, the same problem
again and the same solution: go back to a previous system backup.

I have deactivated windows update and norton liveupdate and have been
working without any problem for 4 days. I am afraid of activating them
again.

I have windows xp and a new (only 1 month old) fujitsu-siemens S7110.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jose Maria

Are you installing driver updates?
If so do NOT use winupdate for drivers
Use Start>winupdate>custom installation
Select security updates only, if there are many select a couple, install,
test your PC.
Then go back and install a couple more at a time
