It may be possible that your Windows get corrupt. Try reinstalling it.

Please check a harddrive first. If you find any problem with it fix it.\n\nAlso run a trorough spyware and virus scan.

Well, you have a Windows problem. Start it in Safe Mode. Go to control panel -> add/remove programs, and look to see if there are any programs that you don't recall adding. A good indicator is something like Bargain Buddy, Bonzai Buddy, Kazaa, etc. Remove those from the add/remove programs section, then run your virus scan. (You do have an updated virus program, right?). Then attempt to restart. \nGood Luck

Yikes, it doesn't look good.  I normally don't suggest this but try reloading windows.  This might not work as it might be a virus.  If that is so you might want to boot using a virus scan disk (If you can get hold of one) or the extreme is to format your drive.  Whatever you do, good luck and I would not mind finding out what you did to resolve the problem.

You may want to run a virus scan on it.  It doesn't sound good.  Try to backup your data file as soon as possible.  The last resort is to format your drive and start over with installing windows.  Good luck.

I think you left words out fo your question.  It doesn't even make sense otherwise I would try to help you.\n\nI would uninstall the program then reinstall it.  That may make it so that you can log in.  Be sure to reboot after installation then again after reinstalling it.

Software culpit:\n1. This is caused by the programs are running on startup, those with a icon next to the clock, Avg is a must, but, Advanced windows care and the registry cleaner and you don't need them everyday(now they failed you anyway), and they taken up system resources like Ram, cpu workload etc, thats might be a problem, try uninstall them see if problem gone.\n2. Try uninstall some unnecessary program, use the uninstall link to do that.\n3. Try to backup your important files and reformat your harddrive and install xp from start again if no solution is viable.\nHardware culpit:\nIf your pc > 4 years old, it can barely handle xp with the lot of software and updates you installed, may be is time to buy a new one.

I just had the same thing happen to me. It was a defective hard drive on my computer causing the issue.....I took it to the Geek Squad for repair....It wasn't an old computer either, 3 months old....Hope this helps!!\n\nGL;)

Not sure what the problem is but I would attempt reinstalling windows.\n\nBackup all your files you would like to keep onto cd/dvd/hd (if you have another or have your drive partitioned).\n\nThen do a full format and then install windows. Install everything you need and get all your security programs on first. Don't enable internet until you have done this. Unplug you're wire if you have to.\n\nNot sure why it would be doing this maybe something in the registry or some dirty little program running in the background. Maybe a system file as become corrupt. When i'm not sure though I revert back to reinstalling.\n\nGood Luck\nPaul

This usually happens when Windows XP is busy with another applications or processes.  Sometimes wait awhile will get it back, but more often a restart should fix the problem.

Hmm sounds like a virus problem. Have you done a scan lately? You might want to scan your computer. How far did you restore it? You need to go to Control Panel, then Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools. There is a system restore option in that folder. You might want to try a restore to a date when your computer was actually working correctly.\n\nThe other method is to reformat. You can just reinstall windows again and it will format your hard drive and you can start fresh. It will wipe all viruses and it will make your computer brand new. But you will need to back up your data before you do this.

Sometimes you can get your windows to restart by re-installing windows again. I've seen this kind of freeze up before and by re-installing windows I managed to get the computer to fully load so I could back up my information before formatting and re-installing windows from the beginning. You could try continuing after getting it to fully load but if there's a virus or something your AV can't find it will just happen again.

No.\nGo to start->run, type msconfig and take the startup tab.\nUncheck everything except your antivirus.\n\n\nThis should do it. \n\nThe next time you restart, check the startup tab again. If some to the items you've unchecked are back as checked, you have spyware on your comp.\n\nUse ad-aware to clean these. Then try again.\nIf it still shows problems, you might have a virus that's slowing down your comp. Update your antivirus, boot into safe mode and run a scan.\n\n\n\nYou usually have only one antivirus on your comp, and it's usually running on your taskbar at all times. Just check out all the icons there to see which one it is. \nOr else you can go to add-remove progs and check the installed apps from there.

it actually isn't a virus, and system restore can't be performed (he can't get any desktop or start button icons), explorer.exe is failing to load into memory. my guesses are that a service upon startup is failing to start.\nwhat i'd suggest is to start windows in safe mode, and go to event viewer and check for system errors.\ni know how frustrating that could be. ;o)
