I'm having some problems getting my PC to boot correctly. It boots to windows but then it only loads the wallpaper and doesnt finsh booting the desktop items or startup taskbar. I can get access to everything by using the task manger.

What operating system do you have? Maybe your profile is corrupted. Trying logging in using a different username.

boot up the computer holding down F8, choose Last Know Configuration. if that doesn't work, go to Safe Mode, and do a system restore.

Try a chkdsk /R. Repairs most errors when I get them. You should run this from the repair console.

Last good config. is the same, and the system restore feature is not working(didnt work before either) so I guess my only choice is reform? Will it save my documents? I think last time it did

Don't reformat just yet. Boot from the XP disk. Go through the option to install it to a clean partition. I will detect that the OS is already installed and ask you if you want to repair it. Do this.

I have had system restore work sometimes, it's worth a try.
You could run msconfig and try stoping startup items and reboot. <I've seen a messed up Anitvirus app cause this>
Or try in task manager killing the explorer.exe thread and rerunning it from the run in task manager after it exits.

try this:
go to safe mode, put in the winXP disc, in the run command, type "sfc /scannow".
this checks all the critical system files and restores corrupted files.
