Stuck with Desktop Login

I installed Solaris 10 on top of XP. The installation went smoothly but Solaris is stuck in:

Starting Desktop Login on display :0...
Wait for the Desktop Login screen before logging in.

I'm new with Solaris, please help! Thanks.

which utility were you using to install Solaris on your XP?

Sorry for not being so specific.

Here's more info:
Dual-boot XP and Solaris10 (different partitions)
Dell Latitude 620
Also, during installation I was forced to use
Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)
even if I responded within 30 seconds.

I installed it 3 times on the same partition, same text console session, same result. Stuck when it tries to load GUI.

I tried Fedora on the same partition and everything went well.

What do you think? Thanks in advance.
