I have Classic Shell on my computer that worked fine before the upgrade. I could not stand the 8.0 OS screen, and classic shell was great while it worked. So one day I reset my computer after it was hanging after I shut down and then the next time I logged in, I was told that 8.1 was ready to install. So I let it do it's thing. Then after it was done and the log in screen came up, I entered my password and was sent to an error pop up over a blank screen that said something like Classic Shell was corrupt and couldn't start. So after clicking the pop up to check online for help with it, I got nowhere. I tried the following to get in to the bios so that I could load my 8.0 OS disc to repair:
- reset, delete
- reset, F2
- reset F8
Each of these options caused the screen to freeze blank. I have an SSD drive for the OS.
I tried shift, while clicking reset on the screen and got to the troubleshooting option. I clicked troubleshoot and after reset, I got another blank screen. Then I tried ctrl, alt, del after logging in and was able to work around to get to windows explorer and get in. I went to system config, checked the option to get to safe mode and unchecked classic shell. After reset I got a blank screen. Now I can't even get to the log in screen.
Any ideas please? I am planning to re-install windows if I can't get in but I need the info on password protected ssd drive.
