kristian 9 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 bought a laptop a couple of months ago a acer aspire 3694 and it was working perfectly until the other day i turned it on and it said 1. repair fault on start up 2. start windows normally? whichever i press it just goes back to the same screen. Nothing happens basically! i've tried to find the reciept but think my missus has thrown it out anyone know what it could be? would have great pleasure in stamping on it and throwing it at a wall but missus is not to happy with that sugestion any help would be appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Where did you buy it from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny 0 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Start the computer as soon as you see the first screen tap F8 a few times, then on the next or third screen select safe mode, the computer will run up with only a basic system, once you get onto the desk top go to accessories / system tools/ system restore. From here you can restore the computer system to an earlier date when all was running well, restart the computer as normal if all is well it should run up ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kristian 9 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks for the replies everyone! had the laptop from comet. Don't think theres any photos on there as they are all still on this pc (not saved on here either ) tried the safe mode thing but still goes back to original screen don't think i had a recovery disc with it? if i did my missus must have thrown that out with the box along with the reciept looks like i'm going to have to take it to be repaired Quote Link to post Share on other sites
