Dell blank page keeps appearing how can I correct

HI,
You were correct in pressing ctrl+f11 but perhaps you did not press at the correct time. If in following these first two steps you do not get the recovery console, it may not have been installed on your computer.

1 Turn on the computer.
2 When the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and hold <Ctrl> and then press <F11>. Then, release both keys at the same time.
3 In the Dell PC Restore by Symantec window, clickRestore. Alternatively, press <Tab> to highlightRestore, and then press <Enter>.
4 When a warning message appears stating that all data will be lost, click Confirm, or press <Tab> to highlight Confirm and then press <Enter>.

The Progress window will appear. Once the restore process starts, Dell PC Restore by Symantec usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes to finish.

When the restore process is complete, the following message will appear:
The system recovery process was successful.
5 Click Finish or press <Tab> to highlight Finish and then press <Enter> to restart the computer.
The software is now installed as it was when the computer was first received.
Thanks.

try starting in safe mode.

when you power on the PC, start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.

this will give you the option to start in safe mode and can possibly let you find out why you cannot start up.

if it does start this way, you should at least be able to retrieve the files you were looking for.

Try attaching the external monitor to VGA port to see if you get the same problem and then post back.

Sounds like you need to update your bios.

it should automaticly appear on your desktop m8 if it doesnt u will need to type it into the vista search bar in start menu

Try another computer. If it works, then start Internet Explorer on your own computer, and "delete all temporary internet files". Close IE.
Open IE, and try again to access Yahoo!

Have you tried starting in safe mood and then ran a scan of the hard drive, it could possably correct any file errors that the start up files may have Hope this Works Steve

Remove the cable. Keep pressing F8 while you power on the system and choose safe mode, press enter. Screen will roll up a few pages and stops for a while. wait a few minutes. windows will start in safe mode Scan for viruses. Restart. It is a virus problem

Hi stefyboy - Below is a link where you can download your driver. After you get to the page just make sure it says Windows XP as the operating system. Then scroll down and click on the + next to where it says network. You want the intel 10/100 driver. I've included a few a ways to install it. If your kinda new to this the easiest is the download to desktop method and just remember where it unzipped it to, you can always move it to a driver directory where you can keep all your drivers for the future.

If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If not, DO NOT RATE YET. Just add a comment letting me know what happened and I'll be glad to assist you further. Thanks.
