When i turn on my compaq laptop it goes through the booting up procedure up
until when windows xp should start then it starts booting up fron the
beginnning and just keeps doing this so you never get into windows.

Nick,
Mash the F-8 key just after boot-up before the Win logo screen starts.
Start in safe mode. Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Start-up and
Recovery, Settings tab, _uncheck_ Automatically restart.
The next time you boot up normally, you should get an error message.
Write down the exact message and post as a seperate thread. (you'll get
faster help that way)
Best,
Treeman

I've tried that but it gets to the same point and reboots so you never
actually get into windows

Windows goes into reboot loop might due to old video drivers or other
drivers that causing the system to reboot constantly. Reboot into Safe mode
(F8) and check Device Manager to determine if there any driver conflict.
