laptop won't start up normally
I recently tried to install a Dell 540 photo printer on my Dell Inspiron 5000
laptop running Windows XP Home. I eventually got the laptop to recognize the printer but it wouldn't print. I soon gave up and decided to uninstall the drivers and software that goes with the printer. Now when I try to start up my computer, it sometimes goes in circles (meaning it'll get so far, then quit and restart again). It sometimes gets to the desktop, often after I had shut it down for a while. Is there something wrong with my hard drive? Would cleaning help? Thanks to anyone who can offer help.

First thing to try is a System Restore to the point where it was working
correctly. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "jlachey" wrote in message ...
