If you can get to the desktop then try reinstalling the utility that you uninstalled in case if there was some shared files that more then one utility depends on that were deleted

My computer has done that before, and sometimes it is because of a unstable app that I recently installed, if you can get to your desktop then try uninstalling any apps that you recently installed

Another thing, if you get it running, try installing Autopatcher

If the problem is software errors then it can be good to reinstall the windows updates that are already installed

AutoPatcher XP

AutoPatcher XP Full May 2007

AutoPatcher XP Update August 2007

I noticed that when my computer would do that then after I would uninstall any recent installs and reinstall the windows updates then it would often help

With Autopatcher it is good to select almost all of the updates but there are a few that are better not to update including:

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation
Internet Explorer 7 (just use Internet Explorer 6)
Windows Runtime

I think he should buy a Mac.

When you start the computer if you can get to a command line then type:

chkdsk

Why not just stick with Mosaic?

Since people like to repeat what they've said, I suppose I'll repeat myself as well - I gave it to a tech support guy at work and he's working on it. I have also bought another computer to tide me over until I get my baby back, that's how I'm able to post.
