Hi there I have a dell vostro 1520 that I bought 2nd hand about 2 months ago. Has run seamlessly until a couple of days ago when it began running ridiculously slow and took minutes just to load icons on the control panel screen and each program I would open would say not responding. And that windows is missing files and suggesting that I should check settings in sound and audio and something about the region setting. I couldn't find the problem and tried restarting the laptop. Only now it only goes thru the dell startup screen where it says press f12 boot options then goes to a blank screen which it stays on forever. I have put the windows disk in and reinstalled it but now it still goes to the blank screen after asking which windows to load up. Oh and before I reinstalled windows and tried to boot up it said it is missing files or it's not meant to run windows on this on this computer or something to that effect. Checking memory is coming up with no probs. and I tried system restore to a previous date but it says there is no previous image to restore too. I don't know what to do now!
