So I start up my computer, like normal... And It takes forever to load the log in screen (I've had a custom one for a while now, so I don't think thats the problem) and once it loads, it shows the defualt log in screen, so I log onto my desktop only to recieve an error message, and I can't access anything and nothing will load or start. One of the errors is svchost... What could be the problem?

Restart the computer in "Last Known Good Configuration" Just tap the F8 key as the unit starts. At a point just after the Loader Screen and before the Windows XP screen, you will reciece a screen asking you to decide how to boot, just select the "Last Known Good Configuration" If that fails to help repost. Tomorrow the Stars!

Try googling the exact error message, or post here. Derick Lawson

I had a similar problem after I upgraded my CPU. For months I've been pondering how come my system took so much longer to boot than it used to with a slower processor. Then I reinstalled my whole system (due to an unrelated problem) with the current hardware setup, and the problem went away. Sorry I can't point out a specific cause of the problem. If possible, just reinstall everything, including the OS.

Ok so Im the one who is having problems, not the poster. He was helping me. So I could try the restart on last known good config, but everytime I try to enter safe mode, it wont let me. the first thing I see on startup is a screen with text listing my graphics card drivers. Then the blue HP post screen.
