That is the screen. It was running painfully as it does at times, I blame my AT&T DSL because everyone says they're bad. I had a few windows open and they closed, a few moments later there was an unrelated power interruption. I wasn't watching it as it rebooted, I assume it gave the choice of launch normal or enter repair. I came back and it had that life after death look.
With that up altcntrldel doesn't work. Retarting it comes to say that if there was a power interruption to start normally, but that leads to it saying its starting windows then cycling back to that choice. There's a qiuck blue screen that says something I don't get the chance to read. Repair mode says its loading files, then after a momentary screen with a timing bar at the bottom that says 'Microsoft corporation,' there's that screen. The mouse works but there's nothing to click on. From the size of the cursor I'd say its low resolution.
I should say safe mode cmp looks like regular safe mode, no opportunity for me to type explore.exe. There's a fight to even get to where I can try that.
In safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration, enable low resolution video and debugging mode it all goes back to repair mode, which goes to that screen. Its an HP touch screen, meaning not a normal box and its all built into the one piece of the monitor. I assume its not plug and play replacement.
I used to build my own computers, but I haven't worked on one since XP.
