Hi people, I'm new to this forum so pardon me if this question has been asked before. Unlike the many other cases with error messages, my MBP would just hang at a black screen right after the WindowsXP loading screen. I've tried to leave it on for 10 or 20 minutes, but it'd still be stucked there.

I've installed WindowsXP on my MBP 15" for a quite some time and it used to work perfectly fine. However, it has been having a weird boot up problem lately.

I have to force restart each time I start Windows. The funny thing is that I am able to go into Safe Mode without a problem, it's just that each time I boot windows normally, it's just a black screen that awaits me.

As far as possible, I do not want to re-install Windows because I have several files that I've yet to back up. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
