Um restart?
Try doing an emergency shut down
Ive already restarted, also sys recovery doesnt work for me it says the file doesnt exist or is corrupt.. safe mode is just a black screen.

When you boot and get that screen, do CTRL+ALT+DEL to get task manager and select the Applications tab, and then hit the new taskbutton and type explorer.xe, that will get your desktop back. Then I suggest rebooting and if it does the same again, either use system restore or boot from the OS disk and do a repair install, that should solve your problems.
Did you try holding down your windows key and taping the letter E?
Ok Murd0ch I tried your solution and it says "windows can not find exploere.xe"
slo5oh I tried that and it didnt work..
I tried to use my gateway recovery disk but it didnt do anything.

sadly, it sounds like maybe your hard drive is crappin out on you. might be lucky and your just infested with malaware and viri. Guess thats not so lucky...
But my computer is brand new I just got it in january.
Sorry but I would not call that "brand new"...did you type explorer.exe in right? That's pretty much your last hope for an easy solution...
Eh, time means little. Sometimes shit just goes bad. And as i said, might be corrupt files, viri, or malaware, but, its usally the HD.
Good point. If you have Anti-Virus and Spyware software than run it when you can. If you don't than you should get it as soon as you can. I was suprised when i bought my Spyware software. It cleaned out quite a few on my computer and it ran better after that. I hope you computer works soon.Beer_Ranger wrote:

depends. what kind is it.
There is different types of reformating?
No, sorry. Well, there is, but no reason for confusion... Who made your pc.
Not really, theres a choice of NTFS of FAT and if you need Raid configuration...
If your not sure what you are doing get some help from a 'real' person rather than off of forums. Or find a good tut on the interweb

Gateway.
I ment low lever and normal format actually... But anyways, Gateways got a recovery disk, but you said it gave an error? Were you trying to roll back to an earlier good version, or reinstall?
