T61 won't go past the Microsoft loading screen
Press F8 during boot, and load Safe Mode. A program may be preventing a proper startup.
Try disabling startup programs. Go to Start > Run (search in Win 7) and type MSConfig > Startup tab and uncheck anything that you don't want Windows to load automatically. It will make Windows boot faster and use less resources while running.
This just disables them in startup. Programs will still load, but when you initiate.
When you say "load screen" are you talking about a screen which comes up first that says "eMachines" or the screen past that where Windows begins to start?To familiarize yourself with the computer startup process further, I suggest having a look at this article:The System Boot Process Explainedhttp://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Hardware_Software/2004/BootProcess.asp
