Turning on Computer it goes to then it goes to the choose operating system,
then the Windows logo apears.. It never goes to the blue screen saying
loading windows xp. It then goes to a black screen showing only the curser,
or mouse pointer. Ive tried booting up in safe mode, the same effects happen
with the exception of the words, SAFE MODE, in all 4 corners, as it would
normally booting in safe mode. There is no ICONS, the task bar and start
menu are not present in either situation. If anyone has any ideas please
post here or email me at jameswilliamson945@hotmail.com

to Safe Mode?

Hi

If you can't access Windows using any of theose options, you will have to
look towards a 'Repair' install of XP. Please have a look at the following
article by Michael Stevens:

"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

Hello,

Thank you for your time and the URL. I believe that is exactly what I will
have to do to resolve this issue. I was hoping that I wouldnt have to
because i have several programs and family pictures stored on it. However,
if thats the only option I have, I guess I will have to do it.

Please note that reinstalling Windows does not affect anything other than
Windows itself. Nonetheless, it's always a good idea to backup before
performing any kind of repair to your system.

Hi

A 'Repair' install should retain your settings, files and programs and be
able to access them afterwards.
