Have an older desktop with XP installed. All it does is restart itself. If it gets to the screen where you can choose a different user then after clicking a user all it does is restart. What can I do to fix this?

Sounds like something may have infected your system. See if you can boot into safe mode. If you can, you should run MBAM from there and see what it finds.
