restart leads to stagnant screen, cant restart ME

Expand Post »

hey folks,
got a problem with my comp, running on ME. When i choose restart from the shut down menu it shuts down windows but then leads onto a stagnant screen with just a little flashy line at the top. i left this for a while but nothing happens and the same thing happens every time i try to restart. This has been going on for about a week now, as it is on my home pc and i dont live at home so i dont know what the rest of the family has done

sorry it is a bit vague but any ideas?

thanks, waz

Yup, that's your problem all right. :mrgreen:

Seriously though- can you get the system to boot properly in safe mode? To do so, when the computer boots, hit the F8 key just as Windows starts up (right after the BIOS messages end).
