Hi All,

Basically a computer of mine which doesn't get a great deal of use (but has worked fine up until this morning) I turned it on and it brings up the 'Your computer did not shut down successfully... etc etc' screen with the options to boot in safe mode, last good known config, start normally etc... but I've tried all of these options and the system simply restarts and goes straight to this screen... any ideas/tips?

Many Thanks

Did you let it finish correcting itself, and you say you did restore to earlier date?

Sometimes it helps to know what OS you are using Windoze 98 , XP, VISTA

We are talking different breeds of cats -- Can you give us more information?

D'oh, wrote the post in a rush, sorry for forgetting that! Thanks for replying but I decided to give it a reformat as it was getting a bit messy and all is fine.

Thanks

Ryan
