My XP won't start, After the welcome screen, i will hear the windows logon sound and thats it. No desktop icons and nothing works in Windows XP. What may be the problem, i cannot start Windows XP at all... Help!

    I guess your Windows XP just ditched you after being loyal for this long. This may be caused by a virus infection or some corrupt files. Try to repair install Windows XP from the Original Windows XP's Bootable CD. This may help you...

    This was the first thing i tried 3 days back... After repair installing Windows XP, It would work perfectly fine for 2 reboots and on the third reboot, Windows will again be at the same problem... Any other way to solve this problem...

    If you just want your windows to work you can do this : Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager and there click on 'New Task' then there type 'explorer' and press 'Enter'. Now everything will be loaded. If this doesn't work, you will have to clean install Windows XP all over again... All the best!
