When I boot WinXp, I get the WinXP boot screen, then after a few minutes it acts like it will go on into windows, but all it does is show a blank screen, and the only thing that you can see it the mouse cursor. This happens on all settings when F8 is pressed during startup, and when in "safe mode" all that shows up are the "safe mode" words in the corners, the version of windows and the cursor, nothing else. From there I can do nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated!
