Only classic desktop

[Viking]

Running XP Home edition, SP3.
When starting the computer it only shows classic desktop.
Not able to change to XP looking desktop.
When i check the desktop options, there is no Windows XP
only Windows classic to choose
If i restart the computer 5 - 6 times it go´s back to the normal
XP looking desktop.

Start/Run: services.msc
