Default How do I restore my personal settings?

I messed up, and now have the blue screen of
death.

I have an IBM laptop running Windows XP. I
changed the screen resolution and, even
though I go the original resolution back,
when the machine reboots I get a plain blue
screen.

Windows XP fires up, and the user icon is
displayed. Then, when I click on the icon
it says it is loading my personal settings,
but then I get the blue screen.

With the blue screen, the cursor is
displayed and can be moved around. Also,
my anti-virus software (running in the
background) pops up a box asking if it can
update its virus database. So, XP seems to
be running fine. It is just that I am
presented with nothing but a plain blue
screen.

Please, how do I get my personal settings
back?



System restore to before this happened .
