I am working on a HP Laptop dv9700 running windows vista. The screen lights up but there is no blinking cursor and it does not go into window, it is just a blank screen. I connected it to an external monitor and was able to get into windows. The system came up with 3 different Trojans and of course was running very poorly. I don't have the recovery kit for it so I went into setup and tried to recover back to factory that way. When it was finished I can no longer get into windows at all. I am assuming that the Trojans may have caused the initial problem because I was able to get into windows with the connected monitor but can not be sure and also assuming that the Trojans caused the initial problem and also corrupted the backup recovery. I am unable to get the recovery disk from HP because they no longer offer it. Is there any other place that I might acquire it and are there any comments or suggestions that could help me solve this problem. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks
