Laptop will not boot past windows sign in screen

I am having a problem getting my laptop to boot all the way. It will boot up to the Windows log in screen but the cursor/mouse freezes and can not move to activate log in box to sign in.
I am able to boot and use safe mode but this is the only way I can get a complete boot up.

I would appreciate any help I can get as I do not want to lose all the info I have on computer.

Thanks in advance
Don

Hello.

Please provide the following information.

• OS
• When did the problem begin?
• Any abnormal behavior of the computer near the time the problem began?
• Has the computer had a malware infection at some time in the recent past?

Thanks for the reply.

Using xp home - Problem for past 3 months - no abnormal behavior prior and no malware infection in the past

After 3 months of many attempts trying to get logged on to windows and was unsuccessful I was going to log in to safe mode to get the info you requested and for some reason I was able to log into windows this time so I defragged - deleted temp files and cleaned up as well as updating my Norton 360 then running scan on complete computer. No problems found by Norton and now computer will boot as normal. Norton diagnostic shows virtual memory low and suggested upgrading memory which I will do.

Hope my problem has been solved.

Thanks again for the reply and if it happens again I will follow up.
