BIG START UP PROBLEM! HELP PLEASAE HELP!

[Guest]

Thanks in advance for any answers to this question. I have been trying to
start up my pc for over a hour and I have not been able to do anything but
start it up in safe mode. Whenever I try to log on to my profile or the 3
others that are on the system, it goes as far as the desktop and just hangs
there forever! But in safe mode i can get to everything.

I have no idea what is wrong since I was on the pc last night and everything
ran fine.

Give me some more information, like what OS do you run ; What did you
do the night before that could have been fatal....

Any idea what it could be? so i can help...

I did a system restore and that seemed to solve the problem, then they
autoupdate kicked in and no problems since

Thanks for your concern

I can't get my computer past the Microsoft XP start up logo. I don't know
what's wrong with it. It seems to have been this way since an Automatic
Update. What do I do??? I can only log on thru safe mode

Have you tried booting in "Safe Mode" to do some troubleshooting:

The OS is Microsoft XP. The night before the problem Automatic Update
downloaded something, which I thought was going to be helpful. It turned
out, however, that whatever it downloaded was harmful to the computer. For
one week, exactly, I could only log on through safe mode. When I attempted
to log on through regular mode, the computer never went past the Windows XP
screen. After a week, I was able to log in the regular way. When I logged
off, the auto update started again, leaving my computer in the same disabled
condition. Now, I'm still unable to log on the regular way, and I can't use
any of the features. What do you think? I'm not computer savvy at all, so I
know nothing about how to fix or diagnose this issue.
