MacBookPro won't load desktop page

[Veronika]

My AppleBook Pro froze today, so I Shut it down. Now when I'm trying to start it again, it lights up the screen with the apple logo and the little rotating wheal beneath it, but won't go on from there. Anything I can do?

Hello and welcome.

-Which model Mac?
-What version of OS X?

We'll see if we can get you back up and running.
