as soon as you see a message saying "Starting Windows" tap F8 a few times - you should get a menu appear, try the top option (Safe Mode)
I would say ask Magoo, but your PC won't survive

OK if you do get windows to run in safe mode ... you can tell its in safe mode as it will say it in the corners do a restore start ... all programs ... accessories ....system tools .... system restore.. select a date back a few days when you know your computer was working |
