snakehips 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Being a techno-phobe I can't help you I'm afraid. However, the one time my Start menu disappeared, it was just telling me that my pc was fucked. I hope yours is different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9340 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 start in safe mode, then run virus/spyware checkers can't, I've tried switching it off then hitting F8 as it's loading and that doesn't work, there isn't the option to "switch off and restart in safe mode" when I try turning off as normal and Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't have that option either... only options when I load up are F2 (setup) and F12... something else.

Yup but because some programs are working and the system isn't crashing, I'm guessing my stupid pig-fucker of a Dell pc thinks that this purgatory is my last succesful boot up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
