I ran into something similar recently when working on an XP sp3 machine. I tried everything I could think of including going to google about it, the most I could gather was that there was a crash happening during (WGA) activation which prevented the finalization of the boot up sequence. Other people had run into it, but had no working suggestions.
I ended up having to remove the hard drive and back up the data to another machine, then reinstalling Windows XP sp3.
