Try booting into safe mode. Start hitting the F8 key just after
the BIOS finishes it's thing, and just before the XP boot
screen comes up. It's a little tricky if you have never done
this before. If the XP boot screen comes up, you were too late.
Just keep trying until you get the Startup Menu with the first
item being Safe Mode. But it would be a good idea for your son
to send you the XP CD since it may be needed at times.

Dear folks-I sure hope you can help me. I am running win XP
on a white box computer using an Asus P4V8X-Mx mb. I'm not
sure how much ram is in there. My son, who built the computer
took of for CA early today with all the disks so I have no
system disk. Problem is this. The machine will not boot to
windows. It goes as far as the splash screen for the mb and
then it goes black with a flashing _ about 3 lines from the
top of the screen. I went into the bios and checked to see
that everything was ok. Enabled and disabled some things and
tried again-no good. I set it to boot from the HD and that
did not work...
