    Well in that case you need to look at your start up items in safe mode. i..e What programs are configured to start up and disable a few of them in safe mode, and see if normal start up works.

    To look at start up items have a read of this little guide http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_xp.html

    Do any of the recovery options in this thread help...covers both XP and Vista (with screenshots).

    To boot from the CD you may need to go into the BIOS and set the boot order. When you first boot up.. watch the screen for the key to press to get into setup. Normally it will be Del, Esc, F1 or F2.
