It sounds like you have something running in the back ground. Do a control/Alt/Del one time get the Task Manager up and see what is running. Sounds like Virus software running. Maybe not just keep the Task Manager

I am sorry I meant check the Task Manager.

Try checking the Event Viewer (right click My Computer>Manage>Event Viewer) for any information about problems that may be occuring. It may be a problem with a service failing to start.

Is it looking for a printer, computer or network that isn't there anymore?

Try to temporarily work around this issue, turn off the Welcome screen and use the classic logon screen instead, see if you have the same hanging. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Check in your Event viewer for any clues.

Look in the System or Application folder. You can get to the Event Viewer via right click My Computer icon and select Manage.

Any errors logged in the Event Viewer can be expanded by double clicking on the error line.

Take any event error I.D. number and search for it on these sites.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
