Databaseben,
1) Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds like a tough process to me
because I am a little too CompuDumb.
Can you just elaborate the process?
2) Also, will I lose my data and hardisc using this process? I do not
want to lose anything. :(
3) Also, when the the black screen appears, I can easily move the
cursor in this black screen but it won't show me anything.

Hello,
I have a Windows XP used on Dell Inspiron 510m Laptop. It was brought
in 2004 November. Upto now I had no problem except once when I changed
the battery.
There is a problem now and the sequence of events (all time Europe
time):
1) (Yesterday)Wednesday morning: started the computer normally.
Microsoft windows weekly (Tuesday) update started downloading. After
the download, I didn’t install the update and continued working. I
didn’t restart the computer too.
2) Wednesday: all day worked normally on the computer.
3) Wednesday night: double click on firefox icon was opening the
firefox browser. But double clicking on ‘internet explorer’, ‘my
documents’, ‘my computer’ was not opening them. So I decided to
restart the computer.
4) Wednesday night still: I clicked on restart. It asked me windows
weekly update will be installed. I said OK and it started installing
the weekly update and then logging off the computer.
5) Wednesday: when it was logging off I slept.
6) When I woke up Thursday morning: It had booted up the computer
already and was at the point where it asks GIVE PASSWORD TO LOG INTO
YOUR WINDOWS UDER ACCOUNT. I gave the CORRECT PASSWORD and then the
taskbar blinked for a mini-second and then the entire screen remained
blank. For 5 minutes the same thing happened. It kept loading my
personal details but nothing happens and the screen remains absolutely
black with no taskbar or anything.
7) I restarted the computer but the same thing happens again and again
(and sometimes taskbar appears for a mini second and sometimes it
doesn’t). The boot up is absolutely normal. It’s only when I give
the password to log into my XP user account that the BLACK SCREEN
nothing happening problem happens. I am/have the only User Account on
my computer/windows XP.
8) I restarted the computer in safe mode and did system restore to 2
days back when some programs were uninstalled. Then I restart the
computer but the same thing happens past the XP user password point.
I am using my friend’s computer to post this.
Can anyone give me a solution please on how can I log into my account
normally again? This is very urgent. Please help me. I don’t know
much about computer so some simple words will help more. ☺
Thanks so much in advance.
