You have your screen saver running.

thanks. Disabled screensaver but still no joy. I have tried defragging but
the damn thing still will not start. Any other ideas. For info when I click
analyze it says

Disk defragmenter has detected that Chkdisk is scheduled to run on the
volume Win_XP home (C please run chkdisk.

I have run chkdisk with no problems but I still can't defrag. Help !!!

The registry entry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute may have an entry for
'autocheck' which can be removed.

Take your machine to a computer shop and ask them to follow that advice. It
is simple and straight forward- if you don't understand what is there you
could damage your machine so that it is not usable.
Or ask friends if they know how to edit the registry.
