My computer all of a sudden stopped loading windows???  I went to use my computer today and it hangs at the Windows Xp is loading screen.  It continues on that screen for about 3 to 4 minutes then loads goes to a black screen and all you can see is the mouse cursor???  I have not loaded anything new to my computer.  (the same goes for safe mode) The last thing I loaded was 5 days ago and that was ut2k3 demo.  I also used cleansweep to clean internet cache files 2 days ago, other than that nothing is different?  ANy ideas.

My Specs,

Athlon 2100 xp
Abit KR7A
1 gig samsung
60 gig ibm harddrive
Geforce 4 ti4600
Enermax 450 ps

just a suggestion.. if you have the cd.. xp cd... boot from that, and proceed as if it was a fresh / clean install, you will come to a point that it asks if you want to use automated system recovery.. say NO... go on.. and it should come to a part where it can see your old install and you should be able to press 'R' to repair it.... it takes about as long as an install, but it will replace all of your system files, retain your registry and programs, and desktop / user settings as well.. this will cure 90% of these kind of issues...

It looks for recovery data u might have built, and restores the system according to that. Anyway, most of the times if the problem has to do with a bad driver u installed, this won't fix it...
