Won't complete boot- no errors, Repair startup fails
Bear with me... trying to help my niece in another state. Her only computer is the problem, so she can't directly search for fixes.
She has a Windows 7 Home edition workstation. Her daughter (9) was playing on it when she said it suddenly stopped working. It would reboot, but wouldn't complete the boot. Shows the home screen- but then comes up with an explorer window saying "not responding."
The rebooted in safe mode and tried to restore from the oldest date. That showed a progress bar that moved part of the way but wouldn't complete.
Tried again and this time chose to "repair" first and it came back stating it couldn't fix it.
Any ideas of what to do next?
