Hi again! I would love to say that I did some High-Tech tweaks...but I didnt do anything to the comp! In fact, I was on it a bit earlier and no problems at all! I am at such a loss! I can get into safe mode, but all I see is safe mode in the corners! No other data! If anyone can help me from this point I would so appreciate it! Thanks again Dara

I should clarify...I keep reading that all you have to do is select English, my problem is I am never prompted to select a language. It seems to me that Im not getting the full screen...its cut off at the bottom! Im sooo confused! Please help save the life of a teenager by helping me LOL It is my stepsons comp that I am trying to fix and he is a syllable away from getting duct taped

Hello all! New to site and you guys are amazing! So very helpful! I am in the midst of booting the rescue CD....I boot it from the CD-ROM and it goes perfect! UNTIL...it comes up in German! LOL Any help? Thanks Dara!

I apologize if this topic has been covered, I am new to this site and I am computer challenged! I will get to the point now.... My stepsons computer went black on me! I will give you all the info I can at this piont. Its a Dell with windows xp. I clicked on ie to open web page and the page opened then immediately shut down (tried 3 times) I rebooted, here is where the problem got worse. It boots up normally, runs all the screens (and beeps) until it gets to the password login screen then it just stays black! Cant login, cant see the desktop or icons, cant see anything but black! The cursor stays active, you can move the cursor around the screen but nothing happens! I tried to reboot in safe mode and still nothing! I am at a loss because I cant see anything at all but the cursor. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! I tried again and was able to get into the startup screen (F12) and I dont know what to do from there. Upon leaving the startup screen, this is the message I got... Primary drive 1 not found Secondary drive 1 not found F1 to continue F2 to run setup Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! My stepson is driving me crazy to get this fixed! Please help save his life by helping me Happy Holidays Dara
