Hi,
About a week ago I restarted my computer and when I tried to turn it back on I get a black screen which starts out saying " We apologize for the incovenience but, Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this...."
It then gives me 5 options how to start windows
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Know Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally
The default is at "Start Windows Normally" and at the bottom it says "Seconds untill Windows starts: 25"
The 25 will count down. If I press Enter to select Start Windows Normally the counter just freezes. But will eventually load the normal Startup Page which Says Microsoft Windows Xp Home Edition and has the progress bar at the bottom. After about 10 seconds. The computer restarts itself and the loop continues
If I use the arrow keys to scroll to a different option. The thing that says "Seconds untill Windows starts:" disapears. When I press Enter nothing happends. After about 2 minutes the Startup screen will load and then the computer restarts.
Please help me to figure out what may have caused this and how I could fix it.
Thanks
