Ok...first of all my laptop is only a few months old and it is Windows Vista.
I normally do not shut down my laptop, but a few days ago I did for the entire night. The next day I tried to start up my computer and after I logged in to get to my desktop screen, it locked on the welcome screen. I tried pressing on other keys and ctrl+alt+del to see if anything would happen, but nothing so finally I held down on the power until it turned off. It would start to boot up then get locked again and it would go through the same process. Only once in a while will it start up all together and go pass the welcome screen. Only just a few minutes ago was I able to get online. It does look like my computer reset itself. I don't have access to all of my applications and process. Like I can format a disc so I can save files.
I ran mcafee for viruses and it showed up nothing. Does anyone know what I can do?
