One trick to try:
After you log in and the Desktop does not come up, press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and then click the Task Manager button to bring up Task Manager.
Click File -> New Task (Run)
Type in
EXPLORER
and click the OK button.
That will manuallyload Explorer.exe which creates the Desktop.
Hopefully, that will do it (sometimes it doesn't work).

hope this helps

Answer 1 is a good idea. If this works your in luck. However it will become anoying to manually start explorer every time your boot. In order to automatically do this windows set a value in the registry. This may have been deleted but it can be fixed. if manually starting explorer does work contact me at EvilDrag0n@hotmail.com and I can help you to make it automatic.
Good luck.

you can alwayz download some other files taht will make u a new GUI, i like, litestep, desktopx, and hoverdesk
make your desktop more exciting and can set them to auto start upon login or startup
litestep is a new shell, others are object oriented
