Hello, one day I shut my computer lid and went out to get some food. When I came back, I opened the lid and found that the computer displayed the blue screen where usually you first log in when it first boots up. There were no users, just that windows xp icon. I shut down the computer, tried safe mode, every mode you can on the list, tried ctrl alt del tried to leave the battery out tried everything and every time I boot my computer up it brings up the screen that just shows the Windows xp icon, with no options to even log on to the computer. I do not have a restore disk and it does not let me get past this screen, I cannot get into the system at all, to do , anything. It simply wont let me log in. I havent found a solution and it will cost more than its worth to take somewhere to get it fixed. I dont know anyone with a windows xp restore cd or anything like that either. I just dont know what to do. Help?
