While there are a number of possible solutions which may or may not work depending on several factors, the easiest to try is to boot to safe mode and run a system restore.
To boot to safe mode:
When you start the system, as soon as the blue dell logo goes away, tap the f8 button. This should get you to a menu from which you can choose "safe mode". It will show a bunch of writing on the screen and should eventually bring you to the login page, login as administrator.
Run system restore:
This varies depending on which version of windows you are running. In XP it is start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.
Other things you can try:
Login as a different user.
Use start>run>msconfig from safe mode to disable startup items which may be causing the problem.
Consider removing recently installed software which may have caused the problem.
Scan for viruses, malware, spyware, ect.
Run diagnostics on the system by pressing f12 on the dell logo and chosing diagnostics.
The worst case scenario to fix a problem like this is reinstalling windows.

Hi,
Try to go to Safe Mode by reseting the computer then tapping F8. If your able to acces safe mode follow these instructions:
1. Go to start then click on RUN
2. Type msconfig
3. go to services tab, click hide microsoft services then click disable all
4. reboot the computer and see it it will go to normal mode. It you will be able to boot to normal mode it only means that one of the isntalled software is preventing windows to load
5. if still cant boot you neet to reformat the system
Thanks for using Fixya.

If you have a Windows 7 disk, then you can boot from that and do a "startup repair". It is able to repair a lot of issues with no trouble.
