Computer freezes upon startup, help meee...

[Evasive]

Basically, a week ago, my comp out of no where started to freeze upon startup.
I have a WinXP, and when it hits that blue screen with the welcome message, my comp just freezes when it says "Loading your personal settings..."

What I've tried so far:
-Safe mode works, so I've disabled all all startup programs
-Removed all newly installed programs
-Virus scan and removed some trojans
-Disk cleanup
None of that solved anything.


Now, one thing that did allow me to get to my desktop was...I did a system restore to a point 1 week ago. I restarted, and it worked, it did not freeze on the blue screen. But 1 week later, I have lost those system restore points, and cant restore my system back to that point. So that doesn't work anymore.

SIGH how do i fix this? It's really pissin me off........

The most likely cause that you can not use a System Restore point is due to Norton or some other 'always on' program (backup app, etc.).

Disable anything like that and try again, also try a different restore point (earlier).

No, I can use a system restore point. It's just the earlier ones I restored to got removed. I was always restoring to a point 2 weeks ago. But yesterday, that point and earlier ones before that got removed. So only the new restore points are left. And I tried restoring to the new ones, and they did not seem to fix the problem.
