my system which has windows xp sp2 is showing blank screen with arrow cursor on logon. i used third party utilities and restored back to previous date. it was working fine. the next day the problem repeated. i repaired the windows xp installation but for no use.
does any one has the solution.

What did you install to get the problem first? and how long did do you get the blank screen before explorer loads?

edit: do you have zonealarm?
