Easiest solution is to try and do a system restore to a point before you started having problems with it.

You may want to try the Microsoft web site. I have found some free software there that helped me out of problems before. Not this kind but others. No gaurentee but it may have some answers. Unless you have a MAC they are they ones who wrote the operating system for that disk. Hope they can help.

I had a similar problem over the week-end. It was a virus, I thought. I started the computer from CD and disk and got to scandisk and that solved my problem. I got into the bios first and changed to start with disk and then I could go an restoring. I took me all day but now it works again.
