Log On Issue

I hope I have the right forum for this, I recently shut
down my computer (XP Pro) I remember seeing an error box
indicating something about "hidden windows not
responding" The computer shut down, and when I tried to
log on a day later, the screen to choose me as the user
came up. (this never happened before - it used to log on
directly) After trying to log on as myself and the admin,
the same thing would happen - it says loggin on, the goes
straight to saving settings. A loop. I can't log on
either way. Tried to log on in safe mode, same thing.
The desktop flashes briefly on startup like it used to -
then just goes to the loop. Any input?

Thanks in advance,
DQ
