on another forum i found to select F8 and try safemode. it did not work, but by hitting the last known page where it was working, i instantly got the computer working. WooHoo
I ran checkdisc, now the computer won't let me login.
when i start the computer it goes to checkdisc. iff i let it go through checkdisc or cancel it, it takes a very long time to load windows. After that when i try to login, it freezes up. I shut it off using the button after a while and when i try to restart it, the same process starts over. Can anyone please tell me how o end this and go back to normal?
