Laptop won't load Windows XP
Hi! I was directed here by someone who said you guys have the smarts to help me out. I am in real deep doo-doo.:eek3:
I had/have a virus and went and bought Panda anti virus but before I could complete the scanning I had to re-boot and now all I get is a black screen.
Let me tell you that I have no money to take it anywhere.
I have no Windows CD.
I was told to use F8 while computer is turning on and go into safe mode but what happens is that I get a bunch of sentences that look something like this:
partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\isapnp.sys
What can I do? Is there anyway to get the Windows to load?
The only things I need on this computer are notes I have saved onto the desktop.
I feel so distressed and like an idiot.
Any help would be appreciated. If someone can help me get it working again I will send a token of my appreciation in a gift card. (not a huge amount as I am broke, but a little is better than nothing)
Thanks
Halime

It may take 3 - 5 minutes to finish booting into safe mode.
Let's say Windows does load in safe mode, what do I do then to fix my problem? Can I run the anti-virus scan at that time and hopefully fix the issue?
I am sorry for being such a computer illiterate.
HELP!!
