Stuck on splash screen

[Larry]

All of the sudden, my laptop gets stuck on the XP splash screen, and won't
boot up. I was able to get it to boot in Safe mode and restored it to an
earlier date, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas before I back everything up
and re-format it?

Does Event Viewer offer any explanation?

Leonard, I don't know but will check it out when I get home.

Thanks.
