    XP shut down, now won't restart...help
    « on: August 27, 2008, 08:08:05 PM »
    Please...any advise would be great...

    I was using my internet explorer when it froze. I tried the ctrl-alt-del and that didn't work. I let it sit for 10 or so mins and nothing. I powered down the computer and restarted it. It comes back on, but brings up the screen letting me know that it was improperly shut down and that I need to pick a start up option (i.e. Normal mode, Safe mode, etc). I have tried them all and Windows will try to start up but then just continually go back to that screen.

    I don't know what to do. Any ideas.....

      I also wanted to mention that I have not installed or updated any programs recently. I know that is one of the common causes.

      Do you have the Windows CD?
