Hi guys.. I am working on my mom's laptop and she has Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and I put AVG Free Anti-Virus 7.5 on her computer and ran a virus scan. It found some viruses and tried to clean them out. I'm not sure if it did. But I shut it down late last night and I tried to boot into it this morning. It would not boot.. I tried going into safe mode and it would not boot.... I cant say that didn't boot its still trying at this second. Her laptop is a Gateway.. I dont think that has anything to do with it. If you can help out on this that would be great.

Hello The Matt,

Are you still having this problem? At what point in the booting process does it not proceed further? Could you give further detail and describe where it stops loading?
