windows xp sytem restore problems

There was a problem on my personal computer so i ran the hp system restore, the next time the computer started up i had to go through the windows xp register where i give the computer a name the time zone and how i am connected to the internet. When i finished with all this and clicked the done button the computer just sits at the same screen. can anyone please help me with this problem i am a college student and need my computer.

Thank you
