...my desktop Gateway(500 GB HD, 6 G of Memory, Windows 7) will not boot up, it just gets to the "Windows" Logo and sits and then just goes into the "Boot Up" process again and again. ---SIGH--- Any ideas would help.

Watch your computer boot. After you hear the “beep,” start pressing the F8 key on your machine. At some point, it’ll come up with a DOS menu. Select “Last known good configuration” and go from there.

.45ACP at 200 feet. That doesn’t fix it, but try to image how good you’d feel!

A Navy vet would move to Iowa because...

...he dislikes the ocean?

Try unplugging it for about 5-10 mins. Then replug.

If you have the Windows install disk, you could boot from it and run repair.

I didn’t see “Try booting in Safe Mode.”

Try it. For W7, and I believe XP, you can do that by hitting F8 while booting.
