HP computer problems with login screen? I have an HP laptop computer and for some reason when I went to turn it on the screen where the windows XP logo comes on (with a blue background) my laptop stops working. Once I reach the Blue Background with the XP logo my computer doesn't show anything but that. Does my laptop have a chance of being saved? Please help, Thank You I've had this laptop for 6 years and it's the first major thing that happened to my computer. some people are confusing it with the BSOD. What I mean is that its the screen that has the actual windows XP icon with the flag shaped thing. It comes on before it takes you to your desktop or before you log in. The screen doesn't say anything or have anything written on it, only the logo for Microsoft.

HP laptop computer problem!!? This is driving me crazy. My HP froze on me today so I shut it off the way you're not supposed to and when I went to boot it up several hours later, it gets past the hp screen but when it comes to the loading screen, it just stays there. My hard drive light is lit and it doesn't blink. It doesn't do anything. I've tried my system restore discs, same thing. I've tried safe mode just now and it's not doing anything. It's stuck on please wait...loading windows files. I also tried last known good configuration. When I tried to load my computer earlier before the loading screen, I got a windows error that said something to the effect of a hardware or software file could have been damaged or corrupt. Windows Repair didn't do crap either. Everything I've tried leads me right to the loading screen. Please help!!! I've only had this laptop for 3 months! I have Windows 64-bit Vista.
