When i turn on my computer it goes on hold right before opening windows xp. ThereŽs just the windows xp logo and the loading line, that keeps loading and loading and loading and loading...
IŽm sure others in here has experienced the same problem.
How do you fix it???

Sure, i can run windows xp in safe mode, but half my programs doesnt work. And then when i restart the computer to run in normal mode windows xp wont start again.

try one of the other options in safe mode...maybe you have to system restore your pc...to last known good start

Yeah, but i was hoping i could somehow avoid restoring..
What exactly are my options in safe mode except for:
1. Start computer in safe mode.
2. Start computer in safe mode with networking
3. Start computer in safe mode with comand... something..
Each of those 3 options get me inside windows xp, but they doesnŽt fix the problem. I still canŽt start win xp in normal mode or last known config. that works..

Mine does this all the time. And then sometimes it will saw my password needs to be reset even though I don't use a password.
If I do a scan disk, disk clean up then a disk defrag it fixes it.
Have you tried doing that? You should do that on a regular basis anyway.
