I'm running Windows XP Professional on my desktop computer. When I try to boot Normally, it appears to work fine until it gets to the Windows XP screen with the horizontal moving dots. The dots continue to move for awhile and then stop. This is as far as it goes. The hard drive light stays on solid. I can boot into Safe Mode with no problem. I appreciate any help offered.
