Desktop disappears and reappears

Hi,

I have got a HP Pavilion laptop dv8000 with operating system XP home edition. When I turn my laptop on it launches the desktop and stays there for 4/5 sec. and then disappears again and just shows the wallpaper without the desktop icons. I am able to open the Task manager and go to file new task (Run...) and go to my folder. On reaching the folder the system displays the desktop again for 4/5 sec. and then it disappears.

I have recently installed Trend Micro ... and after that I have started getting this issue.

Please help.
