Try running msconfig
and take everything out of startup

then see if the machine boots up normally.

If it works, then put at least your virus checker back into startup

run msconfig

and see the tab pertaining
to the boot

sometimes, safemode is
enabled there.

there is also a option to
check all boot paths.

Sorry, the PC in use is Windows ME

Asking in a Windows XP newsgroup without further info was therefore doomed
from the start.
