This laptop does have windows XP. It will allow me to get into the menu screens when F2, F8 and F12 are pressed upon booting up but it will not allow me to make most selections and will promptly return to the blue screen when enter is hit.
I wonder if this is an operating system error or could it be a hardware error that requires a trip to the local computer experts? Please let me know if any help is available and if further information is required. I foolishly saved a work presentation on here that I hopefully will be able to retrieve.
Thank you,
Jennifer
