from safe mode can you do a system restore to a point its saved , may not get you full screen but may get you back to where you were at the start.Chronologically, I got the machine last week, fired it up, bios said date/time not set so I set the right date & time. Booted fine, straight into desktop, no need to log on.
Powered it up again the next day, told me date/time not set again. Still booted fine, powered down, took it apart, ordered a new battery.
Installed new battery yesterday, set date/time, booted fine.
Messed around for a couple of hours trying to get the program to open in full screen, including at least one restart with no issues.
Used add/remove programs to remove the program,
Clicked restart.
It now brings up a log on screen that it never did before and clicking the icon to log on just sends me on an endless loop back to the same log on screen.
Tried booting in safe mode, just get a blank desktop with no icons or background..
