My girlfriend has a laptop running windows XP and when we try to turn the computer on it goes to the start up screen and then won't take us to the desktop screen . I try restarting in safe mode and a couple of other modes but no matter what it won't go past the start up screen. I am pretty much computer illiterate so any help will be much appreciated.

Find a friend who knows about computers... he may be able to salvage what little you have left, without you paying an arm and a leg. If not, get a bootable windows cd and have it format your hard drive and reinstall windows xp. That's the best computer illiterate way to deal with the problem.
