Hello Forum members.
I have a relatively (2yrs) new Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop Windows 7 Premium. It has been used very little in 2 yrs as I have 2 other PC's.
Problem:
Yesterday, I was using it and it was working well. Today I started the PC, on boot it goes to the Dell logo > Windows splash screen, then nothing; just a black screen with a moveable mouse pointer. I've tried starting it in all of the safe modes, with the same results black screen and mouse pointer. I have no Windows CD (Factory install) never got around to creating a CD restore image and there is no option in safe mode to do a factory reset. I'm reluctant to go out and purchase Win7 Full install if it will fail to repair the "Black Screen"
I've searched the Internet to no avail. If there is a fix, any help on this would be appreciated.
