As banned2wise stated, first try startx to see if you get into a GUI.

Else, better post the exact details of the error messages, they will be present in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or will anyway be displayed when the X server crashes.

Try running "xorgsetup" to see if it can generate a working config for X Windows (the GUI). Or else, run "xorgconfig" and answer the details of your hardware to get X running.

About GRUB, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst with a text editor (nano, vi, pico are usable console text editor) and check the order in which Ubuntu and Windows XP are listed, most probably XP will be second, so change the line "default 0" to "default 1".
