first off, sorry if this has been answered over an over again
and believe me I have search this newsgroup but I am just
not sure what to do..............

a friend of mine windows XP Toshiba laptop won't start up
properly.
it keeps returning to the same page over an over again

the options on the page are....

safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt

or last known good configuration

I can boot into the safe mode but when I try booting using the
last
option, last known good configuration it brings me back to the
same
page.

from what I read here I think I should try System Restore first
and
if that doesn't fix it then a System Repair, right?

the problem is seeing that it's a Toshiba all that came with it
is a
cd that says..........."Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD
Satelite
A55 Series.

any ideas on what I can do from here???

Steve

once again thats for any thoughts and/or sugguestions

thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
