Hi all, I'm appealing to anyone that can help me out on a serious issue I have with my pc.
I've tolf my daughter's NOT to play a game named Fresh on my main pc, due to a few issues I had a few months ago which I pit down to this site, however kids will be kids and they have and now my pc is completely knackered.
My MAIN CONCERN is that I have hundreds of family photos that are VERY precious to me and the thought I could lose them annoys me greatly.
I know how to reformat a pc and have done this countless times in the past, but I've never had a problem whereby I can't access my files to backup.
Here is the problem:
Pc boots up to login screen, will either freeze whilst inputting password or will not allow to click the username to login.
I've tried accessing safemode and the screen goes black and nothing happens after about 30 seconds of login in.
I've tried f8 and reinstalling a previous configuration, but that still freezes.
I have a dell xps 420 and have removed all connections apart from.keyboard and mouse, have tried another mouse but still same problem, but don't have another keyboard to try.
I have the black dell disk that states windows vista reinstallation cd but don't want to lose my family pictures.
I've just looked up at the login screen and ALL of the login account names have now vanished! What's going on?
