Hello Britec09:
I downloaded the start up repair cd at neo, I followed your instructions to the T.
I have Windows Vista X32. When I shut down and start again the same thing happens. when I try to start up it doesn't start up all the drivers even in safe mode. I did the startup repair and it took more than 10 hours!! I did the Command Prompt also. none of these worked. Right now I'm doing the system Restore and it's been doing its thing for 2 hours....What can I do?
Thank you
Bear

This was the original problem, the resolution of the monitor, everything was very large and the color very bad. this is the video "How to use the Bootrec.exe tool to repair startup issues in Windows Vista by Britec "

I tried the settings to change the resolution and it wouldn't take, I did a check disc and it was good. I tried your video and the Recovery Tool found problems with the start up. I also tried a system restore. I tried to start on Safe Mode and it only boots part of the drivers.... it stops and nothing happen.

To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.
Note To start the computer from the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD, the computer must be configured to start from the DVD drive. For more information about how to configure the computer to start from the DVD drive, see the documentation that is included with the computer or contact the computer manufacturer.
have you tried these below?
bootrec /FixMbr
bootrec /FixBoot
* bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
* c:
* cd boot
* attrib bcd -s -h -r
* ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
* bootrec /RebuildBcd
You can also use DaRT 6.0 for Windows Vista and do a system restore rollback

Yes I did it exactly like your video, how do I enter DaRT 6.0 for Windows Vista ? My lap top is still in System restore (2 and half Hrs) is that normal? And no I did not try Fixboot.

Thank you Sir: at this moment System Restore is still running, but the hard disk indicator light is not active. Should I stop it? I did check for bad sectors and the drive is clean. As for the 10 hrs, I wasn't sure if I should just turn off the PC to stop it and I did.

Follow these steps:1. Boot from the Windows Vista DVD or the Windows Vista recovery disc that was supplied with your computer by inserting it into the drive then restarting (if you don’t have this disc or can’t find it, you can download a replacement here). (Note: if your system does not automatically boot from the Vista disc when it is inserted, you need to change the boot device in BIOS. To do this, boot from the installation disc, insert the disc, then restart, and while the computer is restarting, continually press the appropriate key [ F12 on most systems, F1, F2, F10, the Delete (del) key or the Escape (ESC) key on others -- consult your user's manual] then select CD/DVD/CD-RW as the boot drive.) 2. Choose your language settings and hit “ Next” 3. Click “ Repair Your Computer” at the bottom of the screen. This will launch Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)4. Choose the installed OS to repair, and you will see a list of recovery tools. 5. Open the command prompt6. Enter the following commands, pressing enter after each, to create a Manual System Restore: * cd windows\system32\config
* ren default default.old
* ren sam sam.old
* ren security security.old
* ren software software.old
* ren system system.old
* cd regback
* copy default c:\windows\system32\config
* copy sam c:\windows\system32\config
* copy security c:\windows\system32\config
* copy software c:\windows\system32\config
* copy system c:\windows\system32\config7. Restart your computer, this time booting from the hard disk. If the problem recurs, repeat the process.
