seems to be some sortofa bootskin problem posibly.
try to boot in 'last known good configuration'.
try to do a system restore.

if they dont help, go to safe mode.
did u install any new applications/ programs recently ? if yes uninstall them.

then check up ur start-up entries. if u can, disable the non-microsoft ones' for the moment. u can use the xp tool, or else install winpatrol (in safe mode itself) and use it.

in safe mode also use 'ccleaner' or other such cleaner to clear ur pc junk.

hopefully it shud help. if it doznt, do revert pls.

no it makes the system run at snails pace and everything gets stuck so never installed a service pack

i uninstalled the windowsblinds some days ago and even removed many things and the last thing i was working on was katana mod.I was trying to unzip the files but it always kept getting stuck so i killed the processes and shutdown my pc as i had to go out.

so heres what ya do ,..
run sfc /scannow from start => run

As there is no need for registry file in max payne mods

Ur problem has no solution.Backup ur data and reinstall xp.If u have disabled any services enable them and try tweaking ur registry.
