Well safe mode doesn't work. And system restoration doesn't work either! No i haven't download anything or installed anything recently. i was on the computer last night and it was working just fine. Well. I did do one thing. there was a post last night that said a gift for antionline members. it was a picture. a blue background with antionline in the center. i but it as my background. that is the only thing i can think of. i doubt that has anything to do with it.
