Hi there laurie_14,
What is actually loading up? What is your OS?
Have you tried to boot into safe mode? In case you haven't, you can try that: http

If you manage to do that, it may be a really good idea to back up the data sotred on the drive.
Then, you can run startup repair. You've got a Win CD right?
Let me know how this goes,
