You are a strange fellow

your best bet is putting in your restore disc and formating you whole system. cos you'll only have to take it in somewhere to get it fixed and you'll lose your info anyway.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Actually, i don't know, i've never screwed my PC to the point where I can't start it up. Would hazard a good guess that it has something to do with what is known as a "system disk"

Try flicking the switch on and off
or bang the monitor
or get all red faced then throw the mouse and keyboard across the room in a hissy fit.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete

ok first of all this is my other computer and i`ve trying restarting it didn`t work and there is no floppy in it and how do u re-install windows

don't listen to Your Honour. You could have... viruses...

format hard drive.
re-install windows.

Then re-start, obviously.

How are you posting this then, if you're computer's up the creek?
