windows XP stuck at "loading personal settings"

Hey guys! So umm, there's something wrong with the computer I can start the computer, click on my user icon, type in my password, and that's it. It says "loading personal settings" and it just stops there. My mouse doesn't freeze or anything. It can keep moving but the screen stays the same for many hours.. well after a few hours I just gave up and and turned it off. I could go into safe mode but it's really slow.. too slow to run any applications.. I tried running defrag in DOS mode and umm.. it's still stuck at 24% I also tried restoring configurations back to a certain date when it was working fine but that didnt help. Should my last resort be FORMATTING O_O? Anyone out there who might know a solution? If you do please and thank you

Need more info.

What kind of computer is this? Name brand or home built?

What are the complete system specs?

Do you scan for viruses, spyware, trojans and hijackers regularly?
