When my PC switches to screensaver/XP startup page mode i am prompted to put in my password. No supprise there as that is how it's been set up for the last year. The STRANGE things is, is that after putting in my password it freezes and I am only allowed into my account if I press the SysRq key... i have no idea why... i even reverted back to a recovery point about a week before I started having this problem and it still persists...

As it is DELL, i have a pre-load version of XP, but no XP disc. i only have a system restore disc, but I am aware i will lose all data if I usethis. PLEASE help because I am very, very, confused.

hello necronomicon and welcome to pchf

personally i can't help you with your problem but i'm sure that somebody else will what i would do is contact dell and get them to send u the recovery disks i have a dell too and i didn't get the disks with it so i contacted dell and asked them to send them to me and i got them

p.s did u run any spyware and antivirus scans?
