Hi! I'm having a bit of trouble with Windows XP...

I installed a program, and it required a restart. I restarted the computer as it asked. When Windows XP booted back up, processes loaded, by I could not click on anything. There was a constant hour-glass. This has happened to me once before, so I restarted the computer, and booted into Safe Mode.

I proceeded to scan the entire hard drive with Spybot Search and Destroy, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, and A Squared Free. I fixed the problems that they had detected. This had solved my problem the first time this had happened, so I was expecting it to be fixed this time too. I rebooted, but this time, the problem was not fixed.

I proceeded to boot into Safe Mode again, but it won't boot into Safe Mode! it hangs at loading the list of files. I've tried entwering with and without Networking.

So, what could my problem be, and how would I go about fixing it?
