can you boot into safe mode...if so...
Windows XP is set by default to reboot your computer when it hits a critical error.
For most users I suppose this is a good thing, as no one likes to see the BSOD
But in this case, we actually WANT to see the BSOD because it contains some useful
information in diagnosing the problem.
In order to force your computer to show you the BSOD, need to tell it to stop auto restarting
on critical errors.
Right-click...My Computer... and then click ...Properties...
Click the ..Advanced tab... Under Startup and Recovery.. click ..Settings...
to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box....
Clear the ..Automatically restart.. check box, and click OK the necessary number of times...
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect....

Hey happyrock, thanks for the reply, but there is a small problem...
I would love to follow your steps but I cannot access my computer.
Once I log into windows it just shows the user names. When I enter the user account it will show my desktop for a split second then it will go right back to the login window for the user.
Any other advice.
I really appreciate your help!

You need to try and boot into safe mode per the first line.
Press the F8 button during bootup and it should bring you to a selection screen that allows you to boot into Safe Mode.
Then follow the steps.

OK....
It shows the solution but I can't find my windows XP disk. The only one I can find is my windows vista disk. Do you think that would work?

More than likely it may not. I dont trust Vista and XP to play nice with each other.
Im not sure, other than trying to get your hands on a XP install CD. Just off the wall, but has this copy of Windows been activated? Has it been asking for activation key?

borrow one from a friend or co-worker...it needs to be the same flavor that you have...
IE: if you have xp pro...the one you borrow needs to be the same
