Hi Jeff and welcome to TSF:wave:
There are a couple of easy and fast ways to try.
1. Try 'boot to last good configuration' or something similar. To get the Advanced Boot screen up, at startup, tap on the F8 key. If you miss it, it will boot to Windows normally, just try again. On that screen pick the last good configuration option.
2. Try a system restore. It is found at Start>Programs>Accessories>SystemTools then pick System Restore. On the screen that comes up, tell it you want to restore to an earlier time. The next screen will have a calander with some Bold dates. They are the ones that have the restore points. Pick one just back from today.
A restore occurs periodically and when you install software or have a problem. If you select a date that is too early, some of your software might not appear after the restore. A restore is reversable. Just go back to system restore and the return opion is available.
Hope this helps,:smile:
