My screen has suddenly gone black, except for the tool bar across the bottom. It appeasr to be working, but I've lost all the work spaces and applications - task manager comes up fine. Anyone HELP??!
Have you tried the Reset Button? It's a tiny hole in the bottom (back) of the PC you push with a paperclip. As your system reboots, press and hold F9 and the system will reset to factory settings. If you have done upgrades, you'll have to do them again.
This information fits the Eee PC 701 (4G Surf), but should also apply to earlier and later models. Your system will likely reboot to Xandros; if you had XP, use the install disk and a 2 Gb jump drive to create an install jump drive.
