i actually did that before you posted it and i dont know why but it worked.
none of the cables or anything were loose so i dont know how it got fixed.
thanks though
i have a compaq presario. last night, i installed the new version of windows media player and when i restarted the computer, it wouldnt go past the screen where it says compaq. i pressed all the F buttons (f1 - f12) and i got nothing. i couldnt even turn it off, i had to unplug it.
i shut off...
