If your getting a white backgroud with the Active Desktop Recovey button being displayed on Windows XP, then do the following.

Launch regedit

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\Components

Change value of DeskHtmlVersion REG_DWORD 0×00000110(272) to decimal 0

Close regedit and log off

When you log back in the problem should be fixed
