If you can move mouse pointer, system is up and running but explorer (the windows explorer not th internet one) is stuck for some prolem. tri to press ctrl + alt + dell and if you can get task manager running go to file - run and type explorer.exe and press "enter". now if your desk and start menu work you can try to run some adware remover (downloaded from an other pc). other thing to try is to run from command prompt (cmd.exe) or from the -start menu-the command "sfc /scannow" to check and recover clean version of system file.

Hi Not sure if you mean no display or just missing start menu, if former doe you have a light on the monitor, amber means no signal from PC, check the vga/dvi cable is secure or change for another if you have one, if green after boot do you see any display on start up then it goes blank (try starting in safe mode to see if you get the display.


If the later option, can see the screen but no task bar and start button at the bottom of the screen try pressing the Windows key on the keyboard, this should bring up the menu option.

SYSEEM START VERY SLOW

it may be the problem of software overloading.so you need to remove some unwanted programs at startup.to do that,go to 'run' in the start menu and type 'msconfig' then hit enter.then you will see a dialogue box.select 'startup' at the right corner and you will be able to see some ticks in boxes.remove the ticks from the programmes that you do not want to run at startup.then restart the computer.

It takes my PC a very long time to boot up, what can i do?


If you have installed any softwares recently it might slow down the pc as many softwares will install a startup file in order to start faster. You can shut these programs from starting up when the pc starts.
I put 2 steps to resolve this in order of simplicity.

Remove icons from the Startup folder
Some programs open with a shortcut icon in the startup folder (Startup icons). Use the following steps to show any startup icons that might be hidden and remove startup icons from the startup folder:
NOTE: Removing items from the Startup folder does not uninstall the software program.
1. Right-click the Start button, and click Explore . The Windows Explorer window displays with Start Menu already selected.
2. Click the plus sign ( + ) next to Programs .
3. Click Startup . The shortcut icons are listed in the right pane of the window.
4. To show any hidden icons, click Tools , click Folder Options , and click the View tab.
5. Click Show hidden files and folders (Windows XP/ME) or Show all files (Windows 98), and click OK .
6. Click an unwanted startup item in the right pane of the window and drag it to a blank area on the Windows desktop. Release the mouse button to drop the icon onto the desktop.
7. Continue dragging unwanted icons until all unwanted startup icons are on the desktop. Click Yes to any window that display asking to confirm the removal of a read-only file.
8. Close Windows Explorer and restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Delete the startup icons that were moved to the desktop after you are satisfied with the way the software programs are working.
If you find that a particular software program should not have been removed from the Startup folder, double-click the startup menu item to open the Startup window. Then drag the icon from the desktop back into the Startup window.
