I've gotten that many times on my laptop and the end result was i had to reformat it. There could be hard drive errors or something of the like.

 

how do i dothat?

 

To format you need a Windows Xp or Vista disk, Then boot up the disk using the BIOS. Its all really simple if the BIOS is set to read CDs before it reads the HD

 

would that delete ALL MMY data?

 

yes formatting deletes ALL your data

 

uncle ------a isnt there an eiser WAY? its a family computer not just
my data

 

We all wish there was an easier way then to format

 

did u try safe mode?

 

The good news is, if you have Vista, when you reformat, it makes a partition called Windows.old that has all of your old info on... easiest way to do it IMHO.

 

hope he has vista otherwise he's up sh!t creek without a paddle.

 

Even when on XP you can still save all old data, Just need to back it up onto another hard drive then make sure you dont format it during Xp installation

 

yes, but that's a bit too late now i'm affraid. The damage is allready done.

 

Maybe you can convince your father to buy Vista afterall it is much more secure.
