Hello folks, thanks for all the info over the years
It's finally happened. I'm at a dead end here and need to ask my own question.
My laptop (A Toshiba Satellite L305-S5945) recently obtained some viruses. I cleaned them all out and the laptop was working fine for a couple of days. Then, one fateful day, Windows would end up at a black screen directly after I logged in. The cursor is there and movable.
Going into Safe Mode results in the same thing.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Task Manager work, but if I try to run a new task it says the manager stopped working.
What I have already tried
1) Windows 7 CD repair
2) For some reason there are no system restore points
3) Chkdsk /r
4) Command Prompt and Bootrec.exe
and a few others
Unfortunately, there is only one user on the operating system
So, what can I do? Is there a way to make an Ultimate Boot CD for Windows 7, and perhaps sneak in and add a user account? Is there a way to install an updated driver for the display?
Thanks!
