    XP hangs at loading bar

    everything worked last night on shutdown. today it gets to the bar & hangs I can see the keyboard flash & mouse blink but still computer doesnt start. I can get into safe mode so I did the sfc /scannow from there. that didnt help. I tried a system checkpoint restore point from May 20 it said sucessfull restore but still didnt load. I tried restoring from checkpoint on may 19 and it said there wasnt a restore point on that day. Im not getting any error messages, just the bar with the lights going back & forth
    thanks
    any suggestions?

    Hi Abby

    Did you just do any driver/other updates or install any program?

    Go back into Safe Mode and then
    Right click My Computer / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager.
    Look for "Yellow" errors

    Thanks Dunedin I didnt have any yellow splats. I have it working right now. I think the problem stemmed from some program being deleted from startup? I did a couple of restore points. it said it didnt restore. So I went back to March 5 2005 to a point I had created. even thogh it said it didnt restore, it did?? anyway Im on the pc I was having trouble with. I have shutdown & restarted about 3 times & all seems to be working properly for the moment
    thanks for your reply
