I am using Windows XP. I get the following message when I
turn on the computer.

Drivers or application on the computer uses drives that
will cause windows to be unstable. Windows will prevent
these drives from loading.

What can I do?

Thanks
 
Did you change something recently, if so, is there a system restore point
you can go back to.

Do you know what drivers aren't being loaded ?

Have a look in device manager and see if any devices are flagged with a
yellow exclamation mark.

control panel/system/hardware/device manager

If any device is flagged with a yellow exclamation mark, then the drivers
probably didn't load. Red crosses are disabled devices, check them to.

You can scan the system for unsigned drivers and try and identify them and
replace them with ones from the windows update site, or from the hardware
manufacturers support website.

start/run
sigverif

Try running the system file checker to restore any corrupt windows xp files
from its backup cache, if necessary it will ask you for the release cd.

start/run
sfc /scannow

Best of Luck
