Windows stays at the loading (boot) screen

[Xpinhell]

My computer seems to be working fine, no visible problems, all updates
done, all virus scanning done regular, but what happens is after I shut
down the computer & go to turn it back on it will not go past the
windows xp loading screen, I then have to reboot, go into safe mode, do
a system restore & then it works fine again, sometimes this will work
for a few days, sometimes if I shut down right away again this will
happen.

Can anyone please help me with this problem, this computer is fairly
new & I cant figure out why this is happening

thx
Jen!

Found out the problem came from an old printer I had not uninstalled
apparently it stil had a job to print so looks like this was the
problem never connected it to this as this never occured until several
days after removing the old printer.
