I put on the windows updates and clicked re-start when it asked. I got a blue screen - I think I made some mistakes.... but - it said something about bios and stuff and if it was the first blue screen to restart. restarted - another blue screen - said to start in safe mode started safe mode - one potential problem listed was hard drive was just too full. That was a real possibility - so I chose safe mode instead of last known time to use system restore. I had 7 gigs of free space. not a lot - but enough that it should have booted. so I am moving files off of it now to get more space. I needed to do that anyway. It also mentioned any new software - I hadn't thought of windows update at that particular moment... duh so here I sit in safe mode - and have NO clue what to do to try to do to fix it - or how to get back to a choice of system restore. Thoughts? I am attached to my laptop at the hip - so I need to get her up and running asap or I will be in a total panic mode.
