No Start-up

[Zygy]

I have had a problem with starting my PC for some time. It normally took
10min. before I could bring up any files. To cure this problem it was
suggested that I reinstall Windows. I did that and the installation was
completed and then the computer would not start up further than the first
three pages. The Windows then proceeded to carry out repair job, which they
did and re installed themselves again, but the computer on start up will not
go further than the "XP Professional" page. What can I do to get the
computer start and proceed to open Desktop?

If you can't repair the existing windows install, install windows to a new
folder, and take ownership of the old data. Boot to setup CD, and note the
"Advanced Options" for choosing a new folders name for windows. (right after
putting in the product key)

It could be a number of issues, I wonder if you are low on Ram or have
faulty memory ?
Have you got items or spyware or virus in your startup folder.
You will find this site helpful to check,what should not be in that folder.
