To Help you you need to list the specifications of your lap top so people can give you the best advice they can

There could be hundreds of different problems with the symptoms you mention... If you can't be bothered to read the page Syphus showed you, then unfortunately we cannot be bothered to help you.

Or you could post back with more detailed information and we would all be happy to help.

If computer related problems could be fixed with the pressing of a button then forums like this wouldn't exist.
Computers are a complex marriage of varying hardware and complicated software, there could be a million reasons why you are experiencing this problem.
You can't expect us to fix your problem based on the information you provided.
Would you call a mechanic and ask him to tell you why your car won't start without suppling any details??
So, how can you expect a computer to be any different?

There is no quick-fix, a problem needs to be properly diagnosed before we, or anyone else for that matter, can offer you any useful advice on how to fix said problem.
Also, we do this for free on our own time with no benefit other than the satisfaction of helping people, so a little courtesy would be nice, we are people too.
You can't honestly expect help from people with posts like that.

Nobody is getting mad we are simply saying we cannot help you if you do not give detailed information...

Have you even read that page yet?

I would guess that you cleared your OS (Operating System)...

If you dont mind deleting all your stuff just put in your XP disc and click install see what it does..

Just my opinion, you might need to have a later version of windows like 2000 to do so though..
