Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware or software?

If this is a new problem try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

From the Task Manager: File > New Task Run...

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

If that doesn't help:

Try booting into Safe Mode options:

After the power-on and BIOS POST or your Logo screen repeatedly tap the F8 key or hold the Ctrl key before Windows starts.

Also: what is the make and model of the computer? Do you have XP Recovery Disks?
