Start up problem

Hi all,

I am in no way, shape or form a computer wizard, so i need HELP!
PLEASE. Everyday when i start my computer it freezes on the "Windows"
blue screen until i hit a key (any key) then it goes on to the desktop.
If i hit the escape key when it's frozen i get that black screen with
set up menu on it. My computer used to just start right up and go to
the desktop on it's own, until i cleaned the keyboard and obviously
messed something up. I couldn't seem to explain this to the hp center
support person. I am running windows xp service pack 2. I also can't
seem to install flash but that is another problem.

Thanks
Theresa
