My sister's Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 starts and then shows a screen that windows did not start successfully, and then gives 5 options:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration
Start Windows Normall

Then when I choose an option it starts to the windows screen then shuts off and restarts, and it keeps doing that in a cycle...

It's really frustrating,:hea: Help would be greatly appreciated! Please!

and an early thank you, :hug:

This could be a problem with your windows installation, if you have a XP recovery cd the fastest way is using it, otherwise you need to install it again. And what OS are you referring?

Do all the variants cause system restart?

Try "Last known good config".

Hmmm...even if it was working fine before? I mean a few hours before everything was working fine...And it already has lots of Documents my sister wouldn't want to lose...

Unfortunately, yes all of them cause it to restart. :(

You may have catch a virus that make the pc unbootable, or something is wrong with your hardware that make the pc restart itself.

Even with Anti-Virus, Firewall and Anti-Spyware?

^ They must be configured properly/updated in time and their messages must be in-time/properly reacted. If those conditions are not observed, then no 100% guarantee.

So from now on the best is always having 2 partition, one just for the OS, and the other for your documents, games, programs, etc.., then if your OS got any problem you can install it again and you won't lose anything, or just make regular backup to your system.
