When this happens you'll want to start in safe mode with and without
networking so you can check Device Manager to find out specifically what
isn't working hardware wise. Also check Event Viewer for errors.

a

(because

the

| normally and "voila!" it worked! I plugged the modem back in and have had
no

|
| So, today, after a couple attempts of starting windows normally without

| and it worked again. I have contacted my DSL service, who supplied the
modem
| and they checked it and said it was working properly. Something isn't
| working properly!! At the time, I couldn't connect to the internet and
they

system
| scan a week ago, after the problem then and it found 3 adware files and
| deleted them. But that doesn't seem like it would cause windows not to
start
| at all!
|
| Can anyone help? Thank you!!
