First insert AMD-nVIDIA Cd into the Driver
Press Esc for Reboot Menu a few times fast
let it scroll writing then
press F8 a few times fast
let it scroll a list of writing down
click y for yes on a few of them to almost the bottom
then where it says pause on that row list click n for no
then press any key to continue. . .

Wait a few seconds for the next stage to come up.

A window will pop up asking you to give it a Startup Repair (recommended): yes, do give it a Startup Repair (recommended) wait a few seconds
then another window will pop up with same giving options next and cancel click on next and it will pop up again a few seconds later click on next again and wait for a few seconds then it will come up third time and click on finish.

Wait for a few seconds and it will take you to where it ask you for your password type in your password and that will make it work again on where all the icons are for your documents and other things on it.

The above will only take a few minutes to solve.

It worked for me if it doesn't for you then there is something else with wrong with your Laptop or Desktop and if all other options fail then you will need to take it to a Professional Computer technition.

Your fix by no means applies to all computers, many would have no "AMD-nVidia" CD as they don't have that hardware in their computer. Also escape is not a standard key to get to what ever boot menu it got you to, certainly isn't on my system. Great that it worked for you, but won't help those that don't have the same hardware you do.
