      IRC Nickname: Mickey Group: Emeritus Posts: 5305 Member No.: 48 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 282    | I installed a Windows update the other day there. Ever since then, my programs have been freezing, and my computer has been running excessively slow. I've fixed registry issues, I've done System Restore, and I've done a virus scan. My last resort was to restore Vista to factory settings. When I restart my PC and push F8, press "Repair My Computer", the Windows Recovery Environment should run, but instead, I get a menu with the options "Launch Startup Repair", and "Start Windows Normally". When I go to Launch Startup Repair, my screen goes black, and it loads the exact same menu. So basically, I'm screwed. I'm 100% sure the update caused it. From what I can tell, this is unrepairable. If it is unrepairable, can I make Microsoft supply me with a fresh copy of Vista? My Vista is 100% legit. --------------------    |

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | Windows Update got me back at Christmas time. I had to start all over again. It still gives me some issues just because I didn't get it all back to normal. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

I've yet to have a problem. There must be some underlying cause for the crashes. It wouldn't be to hard for a virus to lay dormant until the computer is updated. --------------------  R.I.P. Lucy ! |
