Re: Startup Problem EMERGENCY!

Hi,

Ok, Since you can get into safe mode. I would suggest using using system retstore.

Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>System Restore

To roll back the computer to a time before you were having these problems.

More info and help on system restore is avalible here
