I am using and Acer Aspire 3680 notebook with windows vista OS.
Don't really know any more specifics about RAM and such.
This is the real problem.
When i start my computer, The "ACER" windows comes up, and goes away. The screen goes blank for a second, and then a black screen with a typing cursor comes up, almost like I'm using the command prompt. Duting this time the computer mostly goes quiet. The little harddrive light flashes.
At this point one of two things happens. A: The computer starts and goes on its way. Without a hitch.
or B: The computer just stays on this screen. The fans keeps running, but nothign happens. If I just left it be, I'm sure it would stay on this screen. This happens 9 times out of 10.
Usualy when this happens, I restart, and use F8 to bring up that little boot menu and start windows that way. This usualy works.
Once, I got the dreaded "Blue screen of death" but that was right after i logged in.
Now, Lately i noticed when the desktop come up, a message shows up:
"eDatasecurity failed to load." Blah blah blah.
I have a feeling whatever drived this^ software is causing all my problems.
Obviously, I'm not very computer literate.
Help?
