Do you have it so that you have to enter a password to logon to your computer? If so, disabling that may help. If you don't know how go to your Control Panel and click on User Accounts, click on your username and finally click on Remove my Password.

This is the only "solution" I know for this problem. I don't have it even though I require a password to logon. Hope it helps some. Later.

ok, well i a question right of the back, How long did you wait for the computer to keep working? (like when it froze). If you waited for about 5-10 mins.. then i dont know any otther way to get into the machine.

But if you could, run msconfig, just go to start-> Run->msconfig->ENTER Then go to startup or services, and you can disable some of them, that you have no idea were they even came from, this is what i think that could help. But if it just freezes, maybe you just installed something that doesnt let your machine start up correctly.

if it freezes at the welcome screen how the heck can he get to cpanel dude... the canel comes after the welcome screen, when he said welcome screen he means when it starts up and says "welcome". And you cant remove your password when ur logging in, u have to go to user cpanel and delete it there

Btw here is another solution, you may of setup so u have more then 1 account on ur xp so you have to pick a account to go on desktop, and if u did accounts can be passworded

Few questions before I ramble about my theory:
1) did you install/update any software/driver before this happened?
2) when freezes, do you see any sign of hdd light flashing?
3) how do you restart? (unplugging or press and holding power button for 3-5 seconds)

I guess the best way to fix Windows faulty boot is to insert your Windows XP start up disc. After the utility loads up (the famous blue screen) select the option to repair. Go to the command line and type chkdsk /f or you may let Windows fix the problem automatically--this option is before you get to the command line. If chkdsk /f does not help, try chkdsk /r

Usually when Windows XP cannot load, inserting the start up utility and letting it to fix Windows files only it will leave all other data intact.

Let us know how it goes.

I have the exam same problem and i tried chkdsk /r, it strted scanning then something interesting happened, it came up to 74% and then went back down to 50%, then went back up again to 74% than back to 50% and so on. So i just restarted it and the same problem continues.

is there any hardware you can temp disconnect to rule that out.
you need only the basics of the pc connected.
power supply
motherboard
ram
processor
fan
hdd
mouse
keyboard
screen

if you have a motherboard with onboard graphics , with a separate graphics card plugged in , then unplug graphics card and use on board graphics
unplug any usb hardware
remove any sound cards , modems , etc
unplug ribbon cable slave hdd ... you may need to alter links on master hdd if it doesnt boot past hdd detection phase
unplug ribbon cable from cdroms

now try and reboot
if it still wont boot then try another hdd
if that fails thenyou will have to reinstall xp

Try inserting a "non-automated" (standard) slipstreamed with the service pack you have. And try a "repair" install (It should come up with a list with "Windows XP Professional (Or home)") And the list comes up right after the "Detecting Any Previous Version of Windows" on the progress bar

mmm.. did you overclocking your computer?, if so and you have usb devices like mouse, then, try unplug it first and retry. if that not help, you may need to undo overclocking first, then, try reboot your computer as usually to see if it help. smile.gif

re: Windows Xp Freezes At Welcome Screen
Windows Xp Freezes At Welcome Screen

I had the same problem, you need to update your windows from microsoft update, this is how you can avoid the problem and update...

When turning on your computer, just continue as normal, don't go into safe mode, wait till the welcome message comes on, now, as your windows has frozen on the welcome page, press "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" OR "ctrl-alt-del", the windows task manager will come up, go to "Shut Down" but don't shut down the machine, just go to option, then select "LOG OFF *Admin*" or what ever name you use, then enter the same again, ctrl-alt-del till the task manager is up again, log off admin...Etc, keep on doing that, until "End Program -explorer.Exe" appears, just hit "End Now" or "end task", it will then log you off, then you just double click on your name for instants "admin", enter your password if you have one, then you should have log on normally without a problem.

Hope this helps with your welcome freeze page or desktop freeze page.

Windows Xp Freezes At Welcome Screen

I ran into this same problem on my Co-workers personal PC. It boots up
But when you get to the Win XP Spalsh Screen it scans then freeze. It was
Able to work in safe mode, but thas's it.

I did system recovery, changed video card, power supply..Still no joy.
I believe this is caused by a bad sector. Hard Drive going bad...No one
Seems to have the solution. Pls contact me if someone finds out...

Well, Instead of reinstalling the whole system you could,
just put in the system dish and wait, restart the computer than you would wait and when that disk loads you find the recovery disk part and click it than wait for it to load than you enter the admin's password and the rest is self explantory, Well that would work, but if it dosen't than you wll have to go to a pro for help. Now you wished you had backed up your work and files, Right. Well since you face this problem offten than get a hard drive and use that as a backup storage so even if you reinstall your system, no files are gone, becaues you backed uo the files.

    I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the

    reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
    went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
    Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
    "File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion....
