update:

sfc would not run sfc /scannow at the command box

unit does start in safe mode with f8 key. last known comfiguration does not do anything. used system restore and took it back a month, same thing. tried the dvi side of the graphics card and it does not work on a dvi monitor.

reseated all memory and connections included graphics card.

now i am backing up the files before i go any further.

i am thinking of getting another graphics card same type.

thanks

i am going to log on as administrator and try to run it again. the first time it just flashed and nothing happened.

that seems like a corrupt OS to me - did you try the repair install also?
and no malware?? that can obstruct everything too..

ordering graphics card before proceeding with the othere suggestions i received. will now soon, if graphics card does not work we will use the windows install.

thanks
