Try starting in Safe mode. (Press F5 once a second during startup, until a list of options comes up, then choose Safe Mode.) See if your bottom task bar appears. (You may not have higher functions such as audio and video.)

Also, try Microsoft Security Essentials (free to download and use). It scans your machine for malware.
 

Maybe Ctrl + Arrow + Esc, when (/if) Task Manager opens click on "file", then "new task", then type explorer.exe, then "return" key. If it still doesn't start maybe repairing the XP installation (if you have the disk) could help, but do read up on what repair will do.
Or, you could try "Restore System", and select a restoration date when it was working properly.
 

There is no reason to be running with anti-virus that is out of date when there are various packages like AVG, Avira, Avast, etc that can be downloaded and used for free.

Now a better way to browse the web and not care if your machine gets compromised is to only browse using a Virtual machine. ;-)
