    A little more detail: Push the power button on your laptop. Hold it down until the power goes off (unless you're still able to shutdown normally).

    Wait 30 seconds.

    Push the power button on; press the 'F11' key. Press that key repeatedly (maybe 1x/second?) as the machine comes on. Select factory restore or system restore as your choices (system restore first, then, factory restore 2nd choice).

    Start Menu -> All programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore

    Select a restore point dated when computer still worked.
