MacMicro & Repairing Services
So, my laptop went crazy last night and I'm not sure what to do with it. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not MacMicro at Titles looks at Dell computers, I have the Inspiron 1525.
Also, maybe someone here might have an idea what's wrong with it? It crashed around 4 or 5 times, and whenever I try to turn it on now, it'll be stuck on the loading start-up screen - you know, the bar floating across with Copyright Microsoft Corporation. I have Vista Home Premium. If anyone has a clue or an idea, it's greatly appreciated. :]

I dont know Vista at all, but if its anything like XP, start up in safe mode (holding F5), then choose "revert to known good settings", or something similar. Worked for me when XP was doing that to me.

Thanks, I'm trying to boot up in safe mode now. I found that it's actually F8 for Vista, and you have to press it every second right after the BIOS screen for it to show Advanced Boot Settings, if anyone needs to know. :]

It's also F8 for my computer as well... I'm running XP.
