My internet explorer is not allowing my computer to finish loading my desktop icons?

Yesterday I shut down my computer because I couldn't see my start list on my desktop, when I shut down my computer and re-started it, I now get a small error box that pops up and says... Explorer (has a big red X on window) This program has performed an illegal operation and will shut down. When I close this error box my wallpaper on my desktop stays on, but my icons do not come up. I've tried Ctrl, Alt, Del and the window pops up for that but nothing is on the menu. I can't fix my computer problem if I can't get any menu or icons up. I've even tried re-booting and hitting the CTRL button before windows loads so I can operate in SAFE MODE, but it won't even work for me. Can someone help. My computer is a '95 IBM with Windows '95, and an older version of IE.

Use F8 to load safe mode.

Then run a virus scan, and delete (use find) all *.tmp files, and delete anything in the startup group.
