URGENT -- Windows XP Startup Problem

[DarkBlade743]

I have a strange problem. When I start up Windows XP Professional on my Toshiba Satellite (Laptop) the computer literally freezes in its place. The boot screen where the blue progress bar moves just freezes and the progress bar is just suspended. So I started up in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode I tryed reinstalling Windows XP Professional. Everything went fine until I had to restart computer. Then, when I chose "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup" at the screen where you choose your specified operating system. It went well until it froze at "Preparing Installation". Then I had no choice but to shut down. I restarted computer and pressed F8 to view advanced start up options. I then enabled VGA mode. When I continued with the Setup it did the same thing. So then I restarted, enabled VGA mode, and chose "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" from the screen where you choose operating system. Everything went fine. (I even bypassed the splash screen w/ progress bar fine!) Then it comes up with the screen where it checks your disk for consistency. It made it all the way up to about 50% when it tells me that a file has been truncated. Then a few moments later, another file has been truncated. Then it says a file has some "cross" with another file. (All of these files are from Windows\System32\, and have long numbers as names.) Then it just stops at around 65%. Then the percentage disappears. I can hear the computer working and see the hardrive light flickering...but it just stops. So I restart. Then I decide not to enable VGA mode. I just choose "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and skip the disk check. It is about to load the logon screen. It starts doing something and it just freezes. All black with my mouse cursor frozen in time. So now I can only access Safe Mode, and even then I see a bunch of files load and it gets stuck on Mup.sys. Then it finally loads. I tried continuing the installation of "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup" but it keeps freezing on the "Preparing Installation" part. (The progress bar is about a quarter of the way complete.) HELP!! (All my Flash files (.FLA) are on my laptop!)

hey there,
Its all a bit beyond me but if it was me i would look at doing a full format and reinstallation of xp!
CAn you access you .fla files at all from safe mode????
if so mabye back them up on cd, flash usb or link up to a desktop and transfer them over then back again. . . . or if you dont have any of the aforementioned storage options will they fit on floppies????
sorry i cant be of more help but my expertese is limied ~(which is probably why i seem to prefer to reinstall windows to solve any problems)~

ps oh and also did you use any utilities like 'logonuibootrandomiser' or any other boot screen editor cuz i heard they can really mash yer '\system32' files up!!!
hope ya sort it out
laters

I didn't use any programs of that sort which scrambled my system32 file.

Thanks for your opinion.
