PRGUY Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi! I have a six month old laptop that I seldom use. Today when I on it, I see the start up window od windows XP but after a while the screen blank and nothing happens. Tried a few times and still the same. What to do?

Simmo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Press F8 just before windows starts to load and try boot into safe mode for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
