Hi,
last night I was on safari watching iplayer and downloading a file. I decided to cancel the dl and turn the computer off. Unfortunately nothing seemed to work. I could close safari but the computer just locked when I asked it to open anything. Ctrl+alt+del didn't work and pressing shutdown had no effect. In the end I hard powered off.
This morning the problem is worse. Windows gets past the loading screen only to sit on a blank screen with the mouse, with no desktop. Safe mode has the same effect, as does last known config.
No idea what's happened.
Any help much appreciated!
I'm running XP Pro.
