Fucking computer.

Well... it works fine to be honest. Just that when I power it up it will sometimes freeze at only showing me the wallpaper... then... then it's like 3-4 times the same thing as I reset it furiously... no error message or anything. Just sits there at the wallpaper... no windows bar showing or anything.

Anybody know what I should do? I don't wanna go and spend 104071471$ on a new computer since I'm saving up to finish my fucking licenses and get a car so my fucking relationships can work properly. So if there's a non-cash way to repair it I'd go bat shit fucking crazy.

Uhh. I know there is something that can fix this. I just forget what it is :-\. I know its a run command, and and it brings up a menu to disable start up programs. If you have a lot running, disabling them could make the system turn on properly.

Sounds like the explorer shell isnt starting up. It may have been disabled or you have alot running at start up. Click Start, Run, and type MSConfig. And make sure explorer.exe is running at start up. Along with, turning off any uneccssary programs.

i think someone needs to break out the sigbot...

but yea do what they said, the msconfig thing.

then i would defrag or better yet reformat.

You might have to boot into safe mode.

Or the "Recovery Console"... my roommate was having a problem and he ran the recovery console and fixed it. Or boot into safe mode and fix your start up items.

I'll try that...

A recovery install of windows can go a long long way to fixing stuff. If not that a full reformat.

Any extreme computer problem, that's not a hardware failure/incompatibility, will always be fixed by one of the above two.

System Mechanic + Adware + Comodo Antivirus = Win.
