so ya i was looking around for the answer and none of them seem to work for my situations my laptop had gotten a virus which gave me more viruses and after a few mins i was overloaded with them so i scaned my computer and of course before it finnished i triped over my power cord and never realised it and the computer died now when i turn it on and log on it instantly logs me off and returns me back to the log on scren im running xp and i dont have any of the cds and that stuff and could realy use some help

Take a look here: http://www.computing.net/answers/wi... I'd also contact the manufacturer (you THINK it's IBM?) and see if you can obtain a reinstallation/recovery CD for your system. It should have been included when you bought the computer. "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

that link didnt rly help much i have no idea what slaving a computer is and the other sugestion was to use a disk which i dont have id rly like to avoid contacting the manufacture cuz that seems like a hastle but its starting to look like my only choice and i didnt buy my computer it was a gift and so i dont have any of the things that were suppost to come with it
