After performing system restore my windows xp wont load please help?

I did system restore on my computer today to a November 2010 restore point. As it was restoring the bar was moving very slow and got to about 75% of being fully finished. Then my computer restarted and went to the windows xp loading screen with bar, but then it just keeps restarting and that is as far as it goes. I have tried starting windows normally, in last known good configuration, safe mode and safe mode with networking but none of them work. My OS is windows xp home edition, I would like to fix this problem without having to lose my files and programs(resumes,pictures, microsoft office) can anyone plese help I would greatly appreciate it thanks.
