problem when restating

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hey Pete.
have you tried when first rebooting your system pressing F8 continuously
until a page of options come up.
On this page it should allow you to restart your computer at the last known
time it loaded correctly, read threw the options and choose what you think
will work.

Please note you need to be pressing F8 before the windows xp screen appears,
if this screen appears try again as it can take a few times  
best of luck
