  7. Hi,
    Could you post up a bit more info? (operating system, laptop spec, weather etc... added any software recently..
    Can you boot up in safe mode?
    (Hold down F8 while you boot.)

    The message is about a bootloader which may or may not be a problem.
    If you can get into safe mode you could try rebooting from the last good restore point..

    Good Luck, really annoying when they misbehave..

    Cheers

  14. One just downloaded ones OS from thon yonder App store without much ado. One then proceeded to install said item without any hullabaloo. Isn't it frightfully charming how the PC classes still manage to make use of such humble equipage. Dont you know.
