Thanks Peter, I followed what you said, but unfortunately it didn't work, 
but I'll bear it in mind another time, for I can see how it's one 
possibility -

| Hi Andy,
| My first guess is that you are stuck halfway through the login on an 
option
| that might be start windows in safe mode.
| If this is the case, What I'd do is give the computer a good couple of
| minutes from turn on, then hit the enter key and sit and wait. If your
| computer was sitting on the option to reboot in safe mode, it should
| continue in that mode right into the desktop. You likely won't have sound 
at
| this point, But wait a moment or three and you can then try a restart.

|
| Hi all
|
| I'm using JFW in 40 min mode on my laptop, and things have been ok until
| this morning.
|
| I now can't get the laptop to reboot, when I power on, I get no sound, not
| even the Vista tinkle tune, and of course, no JFW to tell me if I'm on the
| log on screen
|
| I've tried removing the battery, and I've checked if I've muted sound by
| inadvertently touching the touch pads above the function keys, but I don't
| seem to have done this, I'm pretty sure I'm not getting to the log on
| screen!
|
| I can't get Narrator to run, and usually if I put a cd in the drive, it
| would come up playing in WMP, but now the drive just spins up to speed, 
and
| then stops again.
|
| Any ideas please? Oh yes, it is plugged in too <smile> -
|
