you may have to go into safe mode (press F8) as soon as you restart. The start use control panel to find a good restore date/point. If this doesn't work you may have to a complete system restore by pressing ctrl/f11 on startup....i think it's ctrl/f11 but may be alt/f11? Sounds like your windows system is corrupted and needs to be reloaded.

 

you may also consider loading (safemode w/cmd prompt) in safemode then type in chkdsk/r or /f in command prompt, it will ask you if you want to run on restart select yes (Y)?

 

Good Luck

I would like to say no, but my laptop is dead now too. The chkdsk/r got it working a few months ago when I had the exact same issue. I ran the chkdsk again today and now it moves slower than a Commodore64.

 

 I had also found a good restore point in safe mode and completely restored the laptop to original settings. I think mine just got progressively worse as time wore on....just a matter of time.
