Wont start windows

Let's see if anyone else has a suggestion, but it sounds a bit like the DDC info is not being transferred correctly by the monitor OR you have a bad graphics driver. You should try and boot up in Windows Safe-More by pressing f8 before the windows logo shows on the screen during the boot process. if this does not help, I would suspect hardware malfunction, which means you should connect another known working screen to the computer for testing.

Usually because you didn't shut windows down properly before turning your computer off or completely draining your battery. If that is the case then simply select start windows normally and as long as you follow the correct shut down procedure it shouldn't happen again. If it does there may be a problem with your windows instalation.

I'm guessing ou have windows XP?
if so you hae a corrupted regisry and need to boot from your Windows CD and at he first et of questions choose Eneter to intall windows, then F8 to continue and then it should tell yo another Windows insatallation has been found and ask if you wish to perform an automatic repair.

Give it a try and enjoy :)

Boot from a Linux Live-CD and recover your personal files - copy them to an USB stick. Next boot from the Recovery CD and do a complete reinstall, it's too late to do anything else.

Boot up the PC in safe mode. How? Well when you start the PC press F8 before the windows start loading. A menu will open up. On top or there so you will find safe mode. Select it and boot. On booting in safe mode you will be warned that your PC is running in safe mode. Done? Now start control panel and then Add Remove Programs. Once that window is populated with all the progs that are installed on your PC, select Norton V3 and uninstall it. Uninstall V2 as well. Restart the PC in normal mode. Now install V3 and compute happily.
