Greetings, I am completely new to this forum and have no idea whether i am posting this in the right category, but, I have a problem and was hoping one of you could help me to solve it. I bought a new pc two days ago, equipped with windows 7 and a myriad of other bells and whistles, and was loving it until today. I left the computer on for about a 4 hour period, and when I returned, the screen was blank with the windows logo in the background. I restarted the computer numerous times, with the usual bootup, but each time after the startup process I was greeted with a darkened screen with the windows logo on it (This logo is my computer's default background, by the way). I tried pressing ctrl+alt+del and my screen turned completely black, with no response. Pressing escape brightened the screen, and I was given my pointer, but nothing else. Also, I found that if I clicked and dragged on the far right of the screen I was able to pull my AIM toolbar onto the screen, and I was able to right-click as usual, but all of my icons and start bar were gone. My apologies for the wall of text, but any and all help would be much appreciated.
-Thanks in advance
