Vista operation on Dell inspiron 1520. Shut down and restart this afternoon,
no new or added programs. Cannot get to windows -- only black screen with
white arrow after rebooting. What is going on and how to repair? Need
instructions as if I were a beginner.

Are you able to check the Event Viewer > System to see if there are any
logged reports with information that you could post back here so we can
better diagnose the problem? Have you recently attached a device to the
system that might be triggering this problem?

See if you can hit F8, ad get into Safe Mode to follow Andre's suggestion.
