We need more info than that...

When did it start?
What did you change?
Does it boot okay in safe mode?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

Yes I can boot in safe mode. To my knowledge nothing was changed. There are 5 other members in my family that use this PC.

Go to start>run, type in msconfig, click ok.
Go to the startup tab, uncheck everything but systray. Hit OK, and reboot. If it works, great, its a background program causing the issue. You can recheck them one at a time to find out which is causing it, but its likely spyware or virus. I would start by getting spybot and ad-aware from download.com, update each, and scan. Use one at a time, empty the recovery or quarantine in each when you are done, or they will fight each other.

Didn't work.... so
I bought another drive and rebuilt it to Win 98. I hung the original drive as a slave and copied the data to my new drive. Works fine.
