Computer Keeps Restarting w/o even logging in

Hello, I have a read around first to see if anyone else had a similar problem, but didn't find something similar. I will cont. looking though.

Our family computer keeps restarting in a sense that what comes up on the screen is it saying that Windows was unable to start successfully due to "a recent change in software" which I don't think is really the problem.

Then it has the options to log in: Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Log in with the Last good configuration and Start Windows Normally. I have selected and tried every one of those options and nothing happens except it lists all this stuff and just starts over again bringing me back to that same screen.

The only two things I can tell you about the computer is that it previously had Windows Me installed and we later installed Window XP but we learned that the computer does not have enough memory to handle it. It still worked, just a lot slower. The other thing is that it's Hewlett Packard Pavilion. I cannot tell you any other specifications since it does not let me in.

It's just going in circles right now.

Any help would be appreciated.
