Sorry if this is in the wring section but the other day my computer froze so I turned it off and it wouldn't load it just keeps getting stuck at the windows xp loading screen

I can turn it on in safe mode but not with networking or command prompt, does anyone know what has done this? Also I have installed anything new recently

thanks in advance

IIRC, when you insert your bootable WinXP disk, there should be an option to "Repair Windows XP" under the "Install Windows XP". I Google'd this, it may help. There is also a Windows feature where you can revert your computer back to a time when it worked properly. You lose any programs installed after that time, but your files remain. Sorry, but I can't remember the name of the program. :unsure:

OMG I HAD THIS PROBLEM YESTERDAY WITH VISTA!
I had to end up reformatting :(
I would load windows normally but it wouldn't load it would just be a black screen with my mouse. But I could go on safe mode fine.
Just backup in safe mode then reformat if nothing that these guys suggest works.
