Booting Problems in XP

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an IBM thinkpad with Windows XP Service Pac 2 on it. A few
days back, I removed some of the programs from the startup using
start->run->msconfig, but after that when i restarted my computer, I
got an initialization error.. dont quite remember the name of the
file that failed to initialize, but my computer would work fine. I
finally managed to remove some messengers and other programs from
loading on startup by start->run->regedit which gave the desired
result. But every time I restarted my computer, from then on, that
error (initialization error) would pop up but session wud run ok.

Today morning I couldnot boot my pc the normal way and had to make a
safe boot. When i tried booting the normal way it shows the startup
screen and it just continues showing that way.

Please help. could it be a virus or some hard disk problem or that
initialization error that is making this happen..

regards
Rajesh

Did you try booting from the option of last known good configuration?
