Each time I try to boot my window XP,it runs a system and folder files repeatedly,with the result that the files are okay.But,the window won,t appear,instead,it re-boots again.I have two other op sys,98se,and 2000 pro,installed.When I go to the other op sys,it boots normally.What could be the problem?Am I infected with a virus or should I re-install the XP?

I would use the XP Disk..Boot from CD and then i will Try to "Repair my Windows".
Also Try to login Using Safe mode.

One of your XP system files needed in bootup is corrupted or missing, the system is having a hernia when it cant get that file to operate and closes down and reboots. Try booting up in safe mode, or repair the installations as previously mentioned.

Once booted into XP go Control Panel >> System >> Advanced tab >> Startup and Recovery section hit the 'Setting' button; then untick the box that says 'Automatically Restart'. This will stop it restarting when you have a proble, ie it eliminates this loop you now have.
