    Start up taking 8 hours


    My Windows 7 hung itsself up this morning. I had to use the power button to restart. I chose Safe Mode. I now have the screen:

    Start up repair.
    Start up repair is checking your system for problems
    Attemping
    Might take an hour

    That was 8 hours ago and it is still running.
    I pressed the Cance button and got the answer "Cannot cancel"

    What now? Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hold down on the Power Button, or turn it off using your power plug.

    If you have a Windows 7 Disk you could try booting Normally, if not run a Repair Install.
