Last night, my laptop was running slow...all of a sudden we saw a big "SPYWARE WARNING" message - and it shut down.
Now I cant even get it to turn on the the Windows start page.
I know if i was able to get to a start screen, I could restore the system to an earlier date -
But -
How can i get to a start page??
It will power on - but then just shut down before the Windows screen appears.
Help!
Update:Its does not look like the SAFE mode will work...is there a difference between when is says to try to run Windows with "networking" or not?
And...any ideas where I can download the Windows Recovery Disc from??
Thanks so much

start the computer in safe mode.
to do that
press the power button and as soon as you press the power button, keep pressing F8. you dont have to do it rapidly just five or six little taps
if it comes up with another screen then go to the option that says SAFE MODE.
if your computer still doesnt start then its likely that the virus corrupted the boot files.
in that case,,,,
you will need to find and download a windows recovery disk.
good luck
you go buy a macbook like the rest of us and quit worrying about viruses
