Blank Screen After I Log In

by nexgeneration Oct 6, 2008 6:55AM PDT

Whenever I log in my account, all that is present is the crusor arrow and a blank screen. My labtop is a Windows Vista Sony VAIO. The model is PCG-7133L. It's dlna Certified with Intel Pentium Dual Core. This happened when I went outside for a smoke, leaving my computer in sleep mode, and when I got back in, I logged in and it showed up a blank screen with the crusor. I tried pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delet but nothing happen. I also tried Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and Ctrl + Alt + F5, and still nothing. I've been downloading movies off of Veho for awhile and never had a problem with it. Also I've been scanning my computer everyday for spyware and viruses. Is there anyway that i can fix this problem without a reboot CD (cause i haven't made one for it yet)? If it's that serious would you recommend me buy a reboot CD? Also can you tell me what's wrong with the labtop? Thanks for you time.

Have you tried Taking the battery out and just leaving it for 5 mins, then putting it back in and turning it on - then leaving it for 30 or so mins to see if it is just *very* slow at loading up, and if it does load, you may want to clean your system, check the startup programs and preform another quick scan..

Tried it but still nothing

No, I tried what you told me and nothing still happens. It's still blank with the mouse crusor. I recently bought it like a month ago. Is there anything else you would recommend me doing so I can fix this problem?
