NARC Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Right, I have a problem. I can't get my laptop at home to load up Windows. I have Windows XP Professional, and whenever I click my icon to log on it flashes up with my usual desktop but then immediately logs off, and I'm returned back to the username screen. Anyone seen this before or know what to do cos this couldn't happen at a worse time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ancient Mariner Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have seen this b4, but that was because the door of my computer desk was pressing against the power button. Bit of a meat n' potatoes problem, unlikely to apply to a laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a clever enough guy, just a little socially misplaced.[/quote']Come on, he was about 20 years out of date, do you not remeber the complete confusion he was in when they got rid of the crappy old computers and got the vaguely decent ones in? I remeber he threw me out once and gave me a telling off, trying to keep a straight face was next to impossible Thinking about it now, that class was legendary, what with Morrison and Ransom (amusingly, i saw him a couple of months ago, and yes, he's still greasy) and all manner of brilliant piss taking opportunities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well, since Malx has had some success in finding help, anyone know anything about javascript?? Suddenly it seemed to stop working on my comp and i can't do fast replies on this site and can't open my emails in hotmail. I tried fiddling about with the security settings but didn't have a clue what i was doing and it made no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
