Laptop issues! Help appreciated.

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

My laptop (which has thrown around in my boot for a while) won't start up. It gives me too options- repair mood and to load windows normally but no matter which I chose I then get a message saying 'The installed program cannot start. Click ok to shut down'.

Can anyone help? I don't have any windows discs in the flat....

Is there a selectable option which says 'Use Last Known Good Configuration'?

If you get the Skydrive app for IoS (off the App store) you can get online versions of office apps (that work through your web browser) that you can use with via Skydrive.

I believe its free, as well.

I should add, I dont own and Ipad so IVe never tried it, but my friends who are Apple-philes say it does work.

You can do something very similar with Google as long as the browser you're using supports HTML5
