The other day I got off the computer, shut it down, took care of some things, then went back on a little later. Now, this was very odd. When turning it on I found that after one of the screens (for XP users, it was after I saw the 3 green rectangles go under the XP logo and then I was waiting to see "welcome".) after that one was blue, and I saw it for about a millisecond, then my computer restarted. I had not gotten to the desktop, I had not gotten my welcome message. So, on the "HP Invent" screen (first one), I hit F10 to begin system restore. This however didn't work. I chose the non-destructive system restore option, let it go, then it brought me to the screen with the XP logo, but instead of three green triangles it said "Please wait...". I waited a little bit and then a screen pops up that said a .nls file could not be found. It then says to tell the computer what directory this file is it. I chose many different ones (my mouse couldn't be used, don't know why that happened) and finally I chose C:\Windows\i386. I knew that directory had some meaning so I tried that one. Luckily, it didn't say that it wasn't found in that directory, the screen just went away. About 30 or 40 files of that were in that directory. I then waited and waited, no response. Finally I rebooted the whole system and now I'm back to the factory-shipped version. I've been meaning to do this for some time now and I did, but still, any idea what could have caused this blue screen to pop up and not allow me to be able to log into my computer and use it?
