Good luck
If you can get there, download these programs and run them. They are among the best, and they are free.
www.grisoft.com antivirus personal
Spybot Search and Destroy v 1.3
Adaware Personal v 1.5
Spyware Blaster.
These are recommended by my local computer guru, and seen to do a good job. They cleaned up a lot of crap in mine.
I can help YOU for a change Ken ! Sum basic questions
first...
- You say you have to reboot it 10 times or so b4 you
get anything at all on the screen ? When first turned on, provided your screen is connected and also turned on, you should see a bunch of words which talk about BIOS and CONFIGURATION and that type of stuff, or else a logo on the screen (which is used to cover the BIOS stuff up). If you do NOT get this, then your mother board likely has a "hot" fault, which will get worse. The good news is that this does not affect your hard drive which contains your data, so it can be shifted to a new computer when things finally stop altogether.
- HOWEVER... if you do get initial anything up on the
screen, but just won't finish booting up into windows,
then your Hard Disk is either on the way out or loaded
with nasties (ie: viruses, spyware, etc.) Best make
a back up of it while you can in case it is the hard
disk on its way out. Spybot and Adaware as mentioned
above are good stuff for downloaded nasties.

Sorry to hear about your problem, but the thread did make my day a little lighter. I had the same problem a few weeks ago - reformated and reloaded "ME" ( too cheap to update )and it seems to be working at the present time.
Again Thanks for making me feel better today. Laugh and the world laughs with you it takes a computer to really foul things up.

Sounds like you have alot of sypware in your computer. Start your computer in safe mode & try to run a sypware program...do it several times ...then do it in a normal startup. To get in safe mode hit F8 on startup...then select safe mode. I would also recommend going to Webroot and purchasing spyware & window washer. These are very good programs and should be run offen. I would also recommend Norton 2005 ( not the internet version) or Bulldog for virus & trojan horse protection. I sell & repair computers (for over 30 yrs) and these are what I put in my customer machines.
Good luck

Even the recovery disc won't do anything............... one 44 magnum in the brain ought to do it...........

This other 'puter just wouldn't do anything. I turn it on, it brings up the HP logo, beeps once, and then goes to a black screen. Sometimes it says, "Starting Windows", but then it just goes blank again. P.O.S.!
