I am able to f8 into the advanced menu but in safe mode or any other mode from that menu- the log in does not appear. I have tried safe mode,safe mode w/networking,etc. Other suggestions? I appreciate all help.

Since the log in screen doesn't appear, I assume it's booting straight into windows?

If you want to enable the log in screen go to the control panel-->user accounts-->change the way users log on or off-->check the box to use the welcome screen.

It is freezing after boot @ windows xp screen. ( normally would show cluck 2 begin) it is freezing 100%-will move forward to get into system at all
