Hi and welcome to free PC Help Gladders.

OK lets see if you can start it in safe mode.

As soon as you click the normal start button, keep repeatedly tapping the F8 button on the top of the keyboard, it may also be the DEL key, but try F8 first. If it works you should get a black screen with white writing and the words "Windows advanced options menu" at the top.

Using the up and down keys, select "Last known good configuration" and then click the enter key.

 

Please let us know if that worked, if not can you please tell us the make and model of your laptop.
