Help! I am unable to get past the blue windows xp screen! I know my computer is working because I can access my shared folders from other computers in my home network. We have tried to (f8) and then restore back to the previous successful boot and then tried to run it in safe mode but we had no success.

Fyi - I had installed a palm program for my new Zire 72 then all let loose!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
