tapout Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I was wondering if anyone could help me with a computer problem. My sister's pc is "skipping" right on the start up and seems to get stuck there. The screen briefly shows her pc make, and then briefly windows xp screen and then back to pc make and then windows xp screen and over and over. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be her problem and any possible remedies? Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I would go into safe mode and go back to a restore point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapout Posted December 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 we've gotten to the start page and have selected safe mode and then it goes back to the "skipping" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
