Turn on the computer and start tapping the F8 key rapidly just as soon
as the first information of any kind shows on the screen. Keep
tapping until the Windows Startup Menu appears and choose Safe Mode
from the menu.

If it starts okay in Safe Mode then use System Restore (Start - All
Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore) to put the
system back to a date and time that is prior to the onset of this
problem.

Shut down and restart normally after the System Restore has completed.

Good luck
