ctrl atl delete

try that, the end the explorer.exe process. then start new process/program explorer.

if that doesn't work, remove all the porn from your computer. then reinstall windows.

what you mean, like reinstall with the original cd? I have tried that but it is not allowing me to do that

what brand is it? if it's not reading your CD, then the hard drive may be fried.

Dont reinstall.
What you have is an MBR issue. (Master Boot Record)
Or if you're dual booting linux and Windows, you installed Linux grub wrong and there's a conflict with the 2 OS's.

Easy fix would be to pop in your install cd, as in your Windows XP cd, and let it fire up then go to the Recovery Mode option.

then type in this command

"fixmbr"

That should do it.

you may have a corrupt hard drive. run windows install in setup mode

Has nothing to do with the hard drive. Could be anything from a messed up kernel to a deleted ntldr file. So many things could be wrong with it but a fried hard drive isnt.
