Problem Booting up

[Wesley]

Hello, im not sure where to put this but...

I am having a problem starting up my computer, it starts
to boot up normally, but at the windows XP boot screen
(the one with the green scrolling bar) it stops suddenly
and refuses to keep going. the green bar freezes and the
only thing i can do is restart.

I can start my computer in safemode , and i have tried a
system restore , but nothing seems to work

i cannot figure out what is wrong, any help wouldbe
welcome.
thank you

Something that is started in regular mode is failing. Since you can
start in Safe Mode, go to Start>Run and type "msconfig" without the
quotes. Look at the Startup tab and uncheck any programs that are
starting with Windows. Here is a link where you can look up names of
startup programs if you're not sure what something is:

Now try starting in regular mode. If you can, then you know it's
something that was starting and you can Sherlock it from there. Also,
ask yourself "what changed between the time things worked and the time
they didn't?" If you updated video drivers, for instance, then while in
Safe Mode you can roll them back to drivers that worked (from Device
Manager and the particular device's properties).

Post back if you need more help.
