Default Computer freezes when starting

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System
and Application logs for the last boot and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Hello,
I wonder if someone could help with my strange problem. When I start my
computer with a cd in my CD drive the computer starts normally, the
opening
Windows XP logo with left-to-right moving blue stripe appears, but after
that
when the starting page with windows profiles should appear, nothing
happens
but the blue stripe is still moving from left to right. And sometimes it
happens without cd inserted into cd-drive. Could someone please help me?
It
scares me because of the important files on the hard drive. I don't what
i
will do if it definitively crashes.

Thank you very much
