I should probably have explained that I did read the instructions above before posting
But at present I am unable to do anything at all
I will try to describe what happens
When I boot up windows vista opens
After a few seconds notifications open from Vista Security warning me of impending cataclysms
I can shut them but they re open.
I can press ctrl + alt + del and get the task manager and i can stop the notifications by stopping xyo.exe
at the same time as the security notices start a window opens saying that windows explorer is closing down, the screen flickers, goes blank, then it says windows restarting, the screen flickers
this continues every 15 seconds thereafter
if i attempt to run a program nothing happens
if i hit the vista thing in the left hand corner the menu comes up, but nothing works on it -
also a large panel opens up informing me that i should go to the CyberLink website to get help with the Cyberlink demultiplexer codec. It offers a number of options and advice - one of which allows the add/remove software menu to be brought up and i can remove software if i wish - but i cannot access the internet to visit their site or any other site
i cannot use the find bar because it shuts down every fifteen seconds when windows restarts
I cannot get any folder or drive to open up in windows explorere even for the few seconds between it opening and closing
hope this is clearer
