Stuck on Start Up Screen

Question

I have a Dimension 2400 with Windows XP Home edition.  It's been running sluggish lately but at least it's been running! The other day I turn it on and it gets stuck on the Windows screen saying 'Windows is starting' and that's as far as it will go.   I tried to start it in safe mode, didn't work.  I tried to boot to the last-known configuration, didn't work.  Not seeing any blue screen or error messages.   Should I try the Drive Self Test (90/90)?    Thanks

Try turning it on with only the mouse/keyboard plugged in.

Thanks but that didn't do it. Hard drive is OK but can't get it to boot to windows at all.
