I know nothing when it comes to computers really but im wondering if there is an easy way to sort my laptop. When i switch it on now i get this screen



ive had this screen before but usually i just get it to start normally and it does but now no matter what option i choose i get the windows xp starting screen and then it goes back to this. It's not really that big a deal as its been replaced by a new desktop now but if theres an easy way to fix it it would be quite handy to have it working if i ever needed a laptop to take anywhere.
