To try the easiest thing first, see if it will boot into Safe Mode.

To get into Safe Mode, as soon as the computer beings to boot up, start rapidly and repeatedly pressing and releasing the F8 key. Don't hold that key down or it may stop booting with a keyboard error, thinking that key is stuck.

If the computer starts beeping at you when you press the F8 key, you can stop pressing it.

You should then see the boot menu where you can use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode.

If it boots into Safe Mode, just reboot as usual and see if it will go on into Windows. Sometimes, that's all it takes.

If that doesn't work, post back here with what you have in the way of recovery/restore/reinstallation software: A recovery or restore disk that came with the computer, an XP disk you purchased, a recovery/restore partition on the hard drive, etc.

Also post back with the make and model of the computer you have.
