gnome gui not loading

Alright, I got Redhat 7.3 to dual boot on my laptop and it was running just fine. Now today I go and start up my system and the gnome gui isnt loading, I just get the command line login prompt.

Why did it just stop loading the gui? Can I load the gui manually?

Thanks for any help.

Hi isuace,
to get the gui login back, you need root privs, open /etc/inittab in a text editor, and change the default run level to 5, the line will look something like:
id:3:initdefault
Change 3 to 5 and save the file.
