Windows Explorer Error Restart window keeps popping up

Whenever I start my PC a window pops up saying: Windows explorer ceased to function, a few seconds later another window appears saying: Windows Explorer is restarting, then all the icons on the desktop, the menu bar and the mouse pointer flicker and any windows I had opened disappear. Then the whole process starts again...over and over. This is so fast I can't even open the start menu to shut down the computer properly.
Starting on Safe Mode is no good, the same thing happens. Only by opening n E-explorer window can I get more time.

I tried to follow the Preparation Guide For Use Before Posting A Hijackthis Log, but several things went wrong: I couldn't install AdAware, SDFix or either of the two recommended firewalls or SpyBot, and my Panda antivirus can't start. I'm really sorry about this, I know it makes your job much harder but hopefully someone can tell me what's going on.
