Until a few days ago my laptop worked fine. Using XP professional.Now, I boot up, the Windows screen is shown, then it shows a blank screen. I have to then turn off via the power switch.I can, however, start it in safe mode, but can not do much with that as hardly anything works, eg internet, back up drives.Any ideas? I dont have XP disc as ths was all preloaded so cannot try to reinstall.Thanks! 1 person got this answerI do too
