After turning on laptop and entering password, computer goes into a never ending hourglass. Never gets to the desktop. Uses Windows 7.

Did you try hitting f8 at boot and using last known good configuration? Or try going into safe mode and restoring to an earlier date?

Hi, Just try system restore in Command prompt line: To start System Restore using the Command prompt, follow these steps: 1. Restart your computer, and then press and hold F8 during the initial startup to start your computer in safe mode with a Command prompt. 2. Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode with a Command prompt option. 3. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the appropriate operating system for your computer, and then press ENTER. 4. Log on as an administrator or with an account that has administrator credentials. 5. At the command prompt, type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER. 6. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to a functional state. Hope it helps.
