Since installing the updates recommended as protection
against the Sasser worm, at start up, XP only shows the
welcome screen sometimes. Other times it shows a log-on
box on a black screen, and if I log on with this box, I
don't have access to many programs and services including
My computer, user profiles (through the control panel) or
even the C drive.

A member of my family recently started using the log-off
feature before shutting down - which I never used - so
this problem may be associated with this support article:
817164.

Any help is appreciated.
