Hmm, something similar hapened to me once.

When you get the black screen and mouse pointer, can you use ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager?

If so, is Explorer running? If it isn't, start it using file>new task and see if that helps. If it already is running, kill the task and restart it.

This worked time for me but I haven't a clue what the problem was, so it could be worth a try...

if CAD doesn't work, try Ctrl-Shift-Esc

3 restarts later its fine =/

except mcafee says that its broken, but i can take care of that later

btw, cad/cse didnt do anything. tho i did see the drive being accessed when i pressed cad so it loaded behind the black screen probably

Alt-Tab works wonders too

Cast Esuna, of course.

A friend of mine has a theory. A few days after being given an iPod, his stereo stopped working. It seems everything from electronics to software can experience jealousy. How about that?!

Is CS working now? What is CS, btw?

cs

Oh, of course
