I left my laptop open for a few minutes, turned my back, and my two year old had it shutting down. I tried to reboot, and it just brings up the blue Vista screen with the moving line that shows its trying to start, but it never does. I have options of F2 and F12 just before it starts, but dont know if they will help with anything. It is a Dell Inspiron 1610 Laptop, with Vista Home Premium, and AMD processor(?). hoping someone can help me, or at least tell me all of my stuff on there is recoverable. Thanks!! -- etikit |

Before you try anything else, try and boot into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. Once there, do a System Restore to before your problems began. Click StartProgramsAccessoriesSystem ToolsSystem Restore follow instructions there to put it back in time to an earlier date. -- Mad Mike "etikit" wrote: I left my laptop open for a few minutes, turned my back, and my two year old had it shutting down.

Let's review: Written English 101 Begin a sentence with a capital letter (hold your Shift key while pressing the letter key). GREAT JOB. End a sentence with some kind of punctuation mark. A period (".") or a question mark ("?") will usually suffice. GREAT JOB (mostly) Use the Space Bar after ending a sentence or after using a comma (","). NEEDS MUCH IMPROVEMENT |
