Hey can someone please help me out here?
My computer has been running finely for the last year until a few days ago when I came downstairs to find that my computer had not fully shutdown from the night before. The screen was blank and when I restarted it it would get to the blue Welcome screen and freeze there... I kept trying but it always freezes within a minute of me restarting/turning on the computer.
So I went into Safe Mode for now but it won't let me use any hardware (sound, printer, etc). Also, I was going to re-install Windows XP because that usually seems to work when I run into trouble, the only problem is that I can't use the CD when it's in Safe Mode. I also cannot format my harddrive when in Safe Mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
