try hitting "F8" when your computer starts to boot.

Select "Disable auto restart on system failure" or just good old safe mode.

Once you have access to the system I would recommend performing a backup then come back here and we can troubleshoot it further.

[Hi

Thanks for the help. Was told by a tech that I had to reload windows vista or recovery disk. Problem is that when I moved they got misplaced. Is there a site I can burn them to disk.
Thanks
