Are you getting as far as your normal desktop, or is this happening before it loads windows? (If it's the latter, I haven't a clue, Babs - sorry) Jay

Oh dear Babs - I am so sorry, but I'm not knowledgable enough to help you. I know they can be started up in 'safe mode', but haven't a clue how to do this. Are there any previous threads that would help, or can you pm any of the GR computer buffs? Jay
