Computer didn't startup again. It did this last week. It just stayed on the Windows XP startup screen. Fortunately, when I did a hard reset, it gave me the option to Run using last known configuration/settings that worked. What's wrong?

Download and run AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy.
Then defragment the hard drive (if you have the classic start menu, its under Start, Acessories, System tools).
Then do Windows Update (Don't download Service Pack 2 unless you understand it well!!!)
This may take half a day, but it's as good a place to start as any
