Hi im currently having trouble in starting up my computer. The problem starts at the windows xp professional start page where it loads up...it takes about five seconds and then the boot up freezes and does not do anything further.

With this said i can still access safe mode and connect to the internet and use my computer normally..

is there anyone who does kno the problem and can help me?

Since you can boot into safe mode, try doing a system restore to a restrore point prior to the trouble starting.

you can press F8 and select Last Known Good Configuration. This would refer your Pc back to the last time you have logged in successfully into your PC. You won't lose any files, it just referres your settings to the previous successful logon.
