did you recently install or uninstall a new program? what did the message say?
a starting point could be going into safe mode.choose start>programs>accesories>system tools-run system information. up on the menu are tools to work with
try them.
to get into safe mode
while your system is posting press and hold down the ctrl key
( or when the message "starting windows" shows at the bottom of the screen hit the f8 key repeatedly ) till boot options come up. with your arrow key move down to safe mode and press enter
also in that boot option list is a selection for command prompt only,that takes you to to the c:/>
prompt in dos
good luck |
