Answer 1

Do a System Restore if you're using Windows XP:

Restart your computer and when you see the memory check on the top left of your screen repeatedly hit the F8 function key. You'll be presented with a text-only screen with various startup options.

Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight "Last Known Good Configuration" and hit Enter.

Select "Windows XP" (if not already selected) in the screen that appears (using the arrow keys again) and hit Enter again.

That should fix the problem.
