Did you used any program for that ?
If yes then first uninstall that program and check for file named cxlogo.exe or cxuihost.exe under system32 forlder...if it was there delete it, and thn edit the boot.ini (hidden) file located in c: drive if it shows the following path in it:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /KERNEL=CXLOGO.EXE

Here in end the command /KERNEL=cxlogo.exe like if it shows any other command delete it till fastdetect (do not delete fastdetect) then restart system.
