Ok, my laptop, which has everything I need for work....... I mean EVERYTHING is F'ed up some how. I am running windows XP Home edition, the computer was purchased new, but did not come with any disks, everything was supposed to be self contained.Worked fine at work today, but when I got home and tried to turn it on I got this message on a black screen with large white letters:
