I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7. For some reason I cannot get further than the desk top, nothing is responding. Consequently I can't get into Control Panel, or anything else. I have tried safe mode, which seems to be F2 & F12 (no response from pressing F8 on the laptop, which I use, to take this ancient desktop into safe mode) But in F2 & F12 I can't find anything that might solve the problem I remember once before a similar thing happening and I found somewhere on the laptop where I could take it back to an ealier point in time - which solved the problem. Any idea where I might find this particular function, or any other ideas on how to get the desktop functions on the laptop working again?
Many thanks.
