Thanks for your help Rock,

I tried some of those tools ,
still , i feel like the prob is still there.
I observed that ,when I try to reboot ,
it is trying to end a programs called "ccApp" and "DISCover play.." ,
am not sure of what exactly these programs do.
I am using SONY VAIO laptop..

"ccApp" is part of Norton Antivirus. "DISCover play" is a Sony
application.

First make sure the machine is virus/malware-free:

If the machine is virus/malware-free, do clean-boot troubleshooting:

and How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
