I had a problem with my laptop the other day. It was left on but with the lid shut, there was a brief shutdown in the power and when I tried to use it again it won't boot up.

Before that I was getting this error 55 file open message. I got an answer from Ray Gralak that the Astrophysics driver ini file needs to be deleted. He said that I should do a deek system search for AP.INI files and delete them.

I tried to download a few different softwares that claim to fix registry errors and active X errors. They usually demand money after they "find" lots of errors. They will fix the first few on the list. I did a few of those and I wonder if that is related.

The system restore command comes back and says it could not restore some files. I have used the system recovery page that comes up and done a checkdisk etc. I have tried to open in safe mode and it sticks at a certain point.

Any suggestions? Its got 50 hours of recent imaging data ready to be processed on it as well.
