windows xp sp3 bootup problem since installing 13 updates from Mic

Since downloading update numbers: kb976749,kb974417,
kb958869,890830,,kb969059,kb954155,kb974112,kb9750 25,kb974455,kb974571,kb971486,kb973525,kb975467
three times since then when I boot up my computer the desktop loads all the
pictures but the bottom is black where the start button and programs that
loaded should be. If I click on internet explorer or any other desktop
program nothing happens. I have to shut off the computer with the button on
the tower. Which I know I shouldn't do!!! What can I do? Before these
updates computer was working perfect.
