frozen on startup

[steve11]

I had a virus that made my computer really slow, CPU usage would go to 100% for like 5 minutes when I started up and it was because I had like 20 services.exe's. and I couldn't look at any images on any webpage, it would just be an x, and a lot of programs wouldnt' even open like firefox and spybot from what I can remember. But now when I boot up its just frozen. I can move the mouse but not click anything or type anything. Does anyone know how I can fix this without reformatting? This is windows XP by the way.

oh and I'm obviously typing this from another computer.

How did you clean your computer?

Did you clean your computer like SuperDave asked / do you have stuff you can't do without, if not then reformatting may be the only 'clean' way to get you back up and running.

I worked on a system today that was so bad the only thing I could do was to wipe and reinstall.
