Hi,

Switch computer on and keep tapping F8. Choose option for Safe mode and option for windows xp after that. once loaded into safe mode version of windows, got to Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore, and follow instructions to take the laptop back to an early date. Failing this, backup files onto a pen drive via safe mode and run recovery via the cds or via F10. See www.pcservicecall.co.uk for more helps and tips
