Did a system restore on XP professional, chose the date and went thru the whole process. When the system restarted, I proceeded to log in but the computer freezes at the welcome screen. It states my personal settings are loading but it will not go any further. Not sure how long this process takes but I have been waiting for a while now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Daniel
