I have a new problem.

I have a Macbook running Bootcamp with Mac OS X and Windows XP Home SP2.

Today I was Playing 1 on 1 with my friend in Black Hawk Down (Game) and I had to go in for dinner, so without exiting out of the game, I closed my laptop.

I came back and tried to log back in, but couldn't click on my name because my mouse was stuck in the top left quarter of my screen.

I had nothing to do, but to manually shut it down so I held down the power button.

When I tried to reboot, It came up with the screen saying "Windows was not shut down properly" or something along those lines. I chose the option "Start Windows Normally" and started waiting for Windows to load.

As it was about to finish loading, the screen flashed blue for a split second and then immediately began to start up with Mac OS X.

I have tried it with the option "Startup with the last used settings" or something like that, I do not remember exactly what It said. (It was the option directly above "Startup Windows Normally")

I have no idea what to do or what is wrong, so any help is appreciated.

I am also unable to get ahold of a SP2 disk.

Thanks,

Pain
