Default Computer wont boot


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!!

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.

That's an improvement. 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
