    sanjay, try it.
    * Restart your computer
    * After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    * Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    * Select the “Last Known Good Configuration..” option.
    * Press Enter.

    Looks like some system files or registry entries are damaged. You can repair system files and registry using Windows Installation disk (select repair mode).
