I don't know anything about virus, I don't know how to properly explain what's wrong.
But I'll tell you what happens when I turn on my computer:
-It starts with the regular "HP Invent" loading screen.
-Then it brings me to the Boot menu. (recommending that I select to startup with last known good confifuration)
-So I select to startup with last known good configuration...
-Brings me to the "Windows XP" loading screen.
-Then it goes blank, and goes back to the "HP Invent" loading screen. The same thing happens if I start up normaly.
-If I select to startup in safemode, it shows a list of .sys files I think?? something about multi, disk, rdisk, partition.
-Then after a while it goes blank and brings me to the safemode loading page.
-After that it brings me to some screen that has a low resolution image of a mountain and a moon (something is written on the moon, looks like "wnpe" or maybe "wipe" I don't know... I don't even know if it's significant, but I can't do anything in this screen, there is a cursor, but nothing to click on. So I just restart.
-I went through restarting a few more times, trying different options, but they all just lead me back in the same circle. Back to the HP Invent screen. I have no idea what's wrong!!!!!!!
If it helps... this is what happened before the issue:
I downloaded a plugin from cellosoft called jtablet. After the download, it recommended that I restart, so I did. Once I had restarted I opened up Photoshop to test out the plugin, photoshop started to load, but then it stopped responding. So I restarted, and that's when the boot menu first came up.
Sorry for so much writing, I just want to give as much info as I can. I don't know how to deal with this since I can't even startup the OS and do ANYTHING. I'm working from another computer right now, but I need that one working.
Does any one have any idea what the problem is? Or how I could possibly fix it?
I really need help... anything is appreciated!
Thank you so much for reading..!
