Ok so just recently started having this problem. Don't know what started it, except i previously unplugged the power unintentionally while my laptop was in hibernate. Turned it on today, it gets to the login screen, and when i enter my password all i get is a black screen. I have googled some solutions, but the thing is, I CANT DO ANYTHING. I boot up in safe mode, black screen. safe mode with command, black screen, no command prompt. I hit shift 5 times to bring up the dialog, as found here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaannouncements/thread/f9f1f00e-eea9-4bda-b9c3-e97e817f27c7/#page:2 but when i click on the link, nothing happens and the dialog disappears. There appears to be nothing I can do. I would try to reinstall vista, but my laptop came with vista and I either lost the cd, or the damn laptop didn't come with any install cd (don't remember there being one.). WTF can i do here or am i just screwed. any help appreciated
