I have a bit of a stumper. I have a laptop that starts and goes to the windows xp screen with the status bar that keeps running. The problem is that is where it stops. It doesn't crash, (it status bar keeps looping) as far as I can tell but doesn't go to the next part of the boot process. I tried "safe mode" and "last known good configuration" still nothing. Any suggestions?

If you have or can get hold of an XP installation disk, you could try the following.
Put your XP disk into your CD drive and restart your system. This will start the XP installation process. When you come to the screen that asks if you want to install XP or if you would like to “Repair” XP, choose Repair. This will open the repair console command prompt. At the prompt, type: chkdsk /r. (There is a space between the k and the /. Now hit “Enter”. The repair should now start. Allow it to run until it stops. This can take some time, so be patient.
If all goes well, XP will replace any and all missing operating system files.
