last time I didn't shut my computer down right, and now it comes up with this screen saying "your computer was either not shut down correctly or was shut down to protect your files" the options are "safe mode" "safe mode with networking" "start windows normally" "use last working settings" i click start windows normally or use last working settings. Both of them start to startup right and then after the windows XP screen (windows flag with the rolling blue dashes) it just goes blank , it stays like this and does not proceed to the blue welcome screen. I have been told that windows has messed itself up when i turned it off? Do i need to re-install windows or is there another solution e.g bios / dos menus can be used to backdate the computer?
and if i do re-install windows will i loose all my files?
