Check if you are able to boot into safe mode. (to do so hit the f8 key after bios and before windows boot loader.)

if you are able to boot to safemode then try a clean boot (How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state)

if this also does not work go back to safemode and check for vmware npnp drivers. (open device manager -> click view -> show hidden devices. there should be a section called non plug and play drivers. expand this section and disable any vmware drivers which are still present. )

reboot to normal mode after disabling the drivers and check
