OS seems messed up. Try using XP's self repair function:

hm?
Ok, perspective check, ur saying that when you start the computer...
You get a black screen menu asking in what mode you want to start the computer in.
Everytime you choose normal it just sends you back to that screen?
Well it could be an application thats starting up. I assume if you start the computer up in safe mode, it works?
Try going to start, clicking run, and type 'msconfig'.
Go to the tab all the way on the right, should say startup I think.
you can disable everything or disable anything that looks funny.
Don'y disable anything that says something like 'reg' or something that looks like your virus scanner, etc.
You may also want to disable some services.
Play around with it, see what happens,
