Hi there pauliecon,
There are a couple of options avaliable to you. If you have access to another Mac, you can use Target Disk Mode to acces those files.
OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
Alternaively, you can attempt to connect your compuer to an external monitor an use it in Closed Clamshell Mode.

Hi Pauliecon:
You can connect your macbook to an external screen. Just close it after hiting the startup button and you'll see the full screen with menu on your external display. You can then use the metioned solution by Griff W. If you are skilled enough you can also remove the hard disk and connect it with a USB cable to a new Macbook. Then use the migration tool to import all your files. Using a USB 3.0 interface to connect to the hard disc is usually faster then using target mode unless both of your Macs have thunderbolt...
Thank you Eyk
you were very good to help, I managed to get the NB files by from it by hooking it up as an external drive to another macbook
+ now im just waiting on a moniter offered to me-Free, to access it proper. thank you again. p
