My learned friends,
Once again I am faced with a problem that is beyond my expertise. Recently,
my PC (XP Professional Ed) crashes as soon as I log-in and gain access to the
desktop. It crashes with immediacy to the extent that when I place the curser
over the start button the egg-timer appears. Hence, the only activity I have
on the desktop is the mouse curser. Therefore, I cannot attempt a system
restore.
Moreover, my second thought was to start in safe mode. However, when I press
F8 to initiate a safe mode start-up, while I am taken to the menu that
includes the safe-mode option, I am unable to select it. The highlighted bar
becomes frozen and I am unable to move it.
I would like to know how to solve this problem as pertaining to the crashing
and if necessary the safe-mode issue. Is there perhaps some way I can access
dos before the machine boots to the sign in screen and solve the problem?
I am in dire need for your assistance.
Please advise.
I am still,
Yours faithfully,
-Joe
