Original title: windows startup problem

When my son turns on his windows xp desktop it asks the question do you want to start windows normally and when you do it goes full circle and comes back to the same page asking the question again. Any answers to this problem.

    Hi,

    1. Do you get an option to start the computer in safe mode?
    2. Do you have an XP installation CD?

    Try to boot into safe mode and check if you can login to your computer.

    Refer this article:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

    If you are not able to start the computer in safe mode, then follow these steps:

    a. Restart the computer.

    b. When the computer is booting up, keep pressing F8 button.

    c. Select the option “disable automatic restart on system failure”.

    d. Check for the error message that you get while logging into your computer.

    Post the error message here so that we can provide a resolution accordingly.

    Hello Sir,

    I also have this problem

    Windows XP hangs on "start Windows normally" screen

    i follow the steps which you post on oct 19,2010 while press F8 and select "disable automatc restart on system failure"  i got a error message as

    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer

    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

    If this is the first tme you have seen this stop error screen,restart your computer,if this appears again follow these steps:

    Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.If this is a new installation ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

    If problems continue,disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software.Disable BIOS memory potions such as cachiong or shadowing.If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components,restart your computer and press F8 to select Advanced Startup options,and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical information:

    STOP:0X000000ED(0X85F4E9E0,0XC0000006,0X00000000,0X00000000)
