Windows XP will not open up to the meadow picture

I turn on my computer and it shows the Windows XP symbol. Then it goes into
the screen that asks to either
Safe Mode

Last known good configuration

starting windows in XX seconds.

Then the seconds go to zero and the loop starts again. It has gone on for
20 minutes on its own.

What do I do? I tried the solutions that Microsoft suggested and they did
not work. Example go to safe mode and last known...

Do I understand that it will not go to Safe Mode or will it just not got to
last known good configuration?

You might want to repost in a Windows XP general forum for more/better help,
this newsgroup is for Media Center.

When you repost, you might want to include more details, does it not go into
any mode, when did this start, what has been installed/updated/added
recently, etc.?
