When I turn on my laptop it goes all the way to my desktop but then nothing happens. I have to go to task manager to turn it off because I can't get to start to log off or shut down. I need to do school work but can't get my computer to work. i figured I could go to task manager and do something but that didn't work and it's not the battery otherwise it wouldn't come on.
-   yeah that didnot work any other ideas bright spark

This maybe due to the "explorer.exe" process not running. Try pressing ctrl-alt-del, to start the task manager then select the "processes" tab and click on "file". In the "create new task" window type "explorer.exe" (without quotes) & click OK. Your desktop icons should magically appear!

Trying to update bios on HP ze2315us Says I cant do it without being logged in as admin. I am logged in as admin, tried safe mode, went into bios set up and I have the password for that also, no luck. Tried downloading to desktop and right clicking icon to "run as" still no luck. Also, I got this off ebay and it has a amd sempron M 3000+, but for some reason it has a program in the +/- programs called amd athlon 64 driver? Tried to remove and install driver from hp website for sempron, but it wont install till I delete the other and the other wont delete. Any idea's? Thanks.
When I start my computer it starts with windows but then the screen goes blank no icons appear. Do I go on to the Safe Mode before starting the Task Manager to start 'explorer.exe'
