Okay, so I was on my laptop today running a few windows and my laptop froze up then I restarted my computer and it passes the windows XP starting screen then it goes blank. The mouse is there and moveable but nothing else is there. What's up?
I'm not sure, when I purchased the laptop about 2 and a half years ago I got it from a local IT store they didn't give me a window XP disc they just installed it and for this reason we have never reinstalled windows.

" well, first off, did you pirate this disk. How old is the computer and how long has it been since you've reinstalled the operating system? "
@Yukoei: Well you should go back to that IT store and ask for your copy of windows or go buy windows and reinstall it. It sounds like a software problem, unless you recently dropped it.
Reinstall XP. Choose the repair install option. That way it installs the OS but doesn't blow away your profile & all of your programs. Or if you have a backup on an external hard drive, it's time to use it. I like Acronis True Image for my back ups.
