Hit F2 when you turn it on (or press it a few times before it loads the xp screen)

Don't change anything, just save and continue

See if that kicks everything back off

If not (or do this first), Press F8 when you are loading up, and this will give you options to load in safe mode

Try any of the options, "boot normally" "boot in safe mode" and then restart

See if that fixes whatever small error you have
