When logging onto my laptop, I cannot get into my system. The computer continues to remain on the Dell menu, and then will switch to windows xp menu, the screen then blinks and restarts to the dell menu and then to windows xp. i tried to log on in safe mode, but it continues to do the same. tried to run from disk, but it says all is clean. any suggestions?

Hi Nancy, hi everyone I think you would be better of in the Windows XP forum with this question. As there awhile ago has been a discussion over here about misposting, it was suggested to report the mispostings as offensive. I thought that was a bit drastic, and suggested to point the poster to the appropriate forum. So now I am living up to that suggestion. :-) The discussion: Justin - What do you think?

Thank you and I apologize. I didn't even check after I registered, I just copied my remarks. I am sorry for the confusion.

Hi Nancy, hi everyone You're very welcome, apologies accepted. ;-) No confusion on my side. :-) Good luck in the Windows XP forum, I truly hope you'll get your issue resolved. Greetz, The Count
