windows to login screen, hangs

Comment:
my roomate's computer will boot up windows fine, but when the login screen is supposed to appear (blue screen with windows xp logo) and say something like windows is starting up... it just sits on that screen, no hard drive activity or anything. the mouse is there and you can move that a round but it's pointless since there's nothing to click on. tried booting in safe mode, and safe mode with command prompt with same results. any help would be appreciated, never seen anything like this.
