Forgot to add - I've used System Restore to go back up to 3 months. Still
no success

I have XP Home installed.
I have had the machine for nearly 5 years. I have made no hardware
changes in the last year or more, and have not (knowingly) added any
software in the last 6 months or so. I apply Windows updates, and protect
the PC as far as I can with Norton.
Suddenly, it stalls on startup. I get the "Windows XP" logo, but the
little blue blips that pass across the screen suddenly stop. That's it!
No more!
I can start the PC in safe mode, and I've defragged the hard drive (it was
80% full, but I've deleted enough stuff that it's now <60% full - and
defragged again). No difference. Still stalls on "normal" startup.
I've looked at device manager and all the devices seem to be working
normally.
This happened once before, about 2 years ago, and I got out of it by
re-installing XP. I really don't want to go through that rigmarole again.
Any ideas?
