Cannot start Windows vista 64-bit is not after installing SP1

When SP1 is installed, it will ask to "restart now" click on that and it not his "disconnect", then moves to step 1 of 3. " arrives at 97% and restarts. When it starts and happens to where windows should load up, it just goes to an error screen that says...

"Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the problem. To solve the problem:

1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on "Repair your computer."

If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: acpi.sys
Status: 0xc0000098
"Info: Windows failed to load because a required file is missing or corrupt.

Now I can put in the disc of windows and repair and it will load and everything is good but not SP1 and if I try to install again, the same acpi.sys error again.

I changed the power settings for monitar and readers do not turn off if the system is idle for long periods of time. I have reformat the HD does have 2 attacked together but spent the 1 hard drive and changed RAID.  This change has been to try to understand why my computer would hard lock. So far it isn't hard lock now. just can't update vista SP1 now. No update problem when he had 2 hard drives had attacked

Any help would be great.  THX

  • Windows Vista (32 bit) stops responding after installing the program...

    Hello.

    Recently, my Dell XPS M1530 (Windows Vista 32-bit) has been extinguished during the execution of the system updates (we had a power outage during the night and I didn't) and would only start in safe mode. I moved all my documents on a portable HARD drive and reinstalled the operating system to try to save the computer.

    After I did that and reinstalled the drivers (downloaded from the Dell site via my system identification label), I started to load my programs on it (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc.). After I install a program and exit the installation window, Vista stops responding. I can't click on the Start button (the mouse will go over it, but it does not allow me to select) or one of the other button I have in my toolbar. I can't click anything in the Dock of Dell at the top of my screen, either.

    The only way to turn off the computer must press and hold the Power button until the laptop turns off. I HATE doing this, but there is no other way to turn it off once a program has been installed.

    Any thoughts on what is happening here? I hope this is just some kind of error on my part - I can't afford to get a new machine. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 (my machine can handle), but I don't want the same problem occurs.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hello

    As you re-installed Windows and the problem persists the rules well enough software. The power
    failure should be accompanied by a power surge or other that has caused a problem in the computer.

    Makes it sound like there are hardware problems that can probably be repaired. Have you looked at the system
    by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.

    Hi Ak_609,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When you receive the error message from error checking?

    First unplug all external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then try to boot to the desktop and let us know the status.

    Method 1

    Check if the computer starts in safe mode and after back with the results.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    Method 2

    If the computer starts in safe mode then I would suggest you to perform control and clean boot if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is at the origin of the problem in normal mode.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit does not

    I have a Toshiba laptop with windows vista 64-bit.  I can load up with success to the point where I can go online and run other programs, but after 5 minutes or so everything becomes unresponsive.  The internet browser, the taskbar.  Everything except the mouse and touchpad.  Vista seems to be a bit busier than normal during this time and no matter how long wait he just still insensitive until I restart.  After the reboot, it does the same thing.  Start in safe mode gives no problem.  I would like to find a way to solve this but have no idea where to start.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi goonstwone,

    Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    This problem may be caused by some conflict hardware or software of a third party; I suggest you try the following steps to refine the question:

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the mouse and keyboard, start the computer, and then check to see the problem persists

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: The computer in the boot and a test

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  • Cannot start windows Vista in safe mode.

    I followed these instructions to start Windows 7 in safe mode:

    I tried to start windows vista in safe mode by using the following:

    1. Click on the Windows icon in the left bottom of the screen while Windows is running in normal mode.
    2. Click on the arrow located to the right of the lock at the bottom of the popup menu symbol
    3. Choose "restart".
    4. I restart the computer, press the F8 key and hold.  I tried at the beginning of the sequence to reboot and after that the light appears on the mouse, but still before the windows logo appears.
    5. Restart the computer in normal mode.
    6. I tried the key down and also tried pressing the F8 key several times both giving the same results without success.
    7. To eliminate the possibility of a bad keyboard, I switched from keyboards with the same results.

    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

    You tap f8.

  • Windows Vista (64-bit) does not start.

    Last night, I installed the new McAfee antivirus due to having a virus that prevented the windows firewall to allow me to surf the net via my router (usually would work when directly connected to the modem). The antivirus has worked very well and I was able to access the internet very well. The rest of the evening consisted of me Star Trek Online patch and play a little of it and there was still no problem. This morning I woke up to find my computer screen in the the Startup Repair stating that it could not load Windows Vista.

  • Compaq Presario SR5130NX: Cannot start Windows Vista after failure - HELP!

    Hello! My building has undergone a complete failure so 4 days ago I used it. Power resumed 3 hours later, but I was not able to log on since.





    Normally, I turn on my PC, and about 30 seconds later, a window pops up asking you my password. After entering it, the PC come by my office. Now, when I turn on the PC, it brings me to a blue screen with a mouse cursor in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    When I press F8 during the boot process and choose an option from the window "Advanced Boot Options", I still can't start my computer normally.





    Here's the "Advanced Boot Options" I tried, after consultation with my brother a little more PC-savvy:





    1 repair your computer - after I see my black screen that is usual with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under the green bars that scroll from left to right for about 15 seconds, a blue screen appears with the mouse pointer in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    2 mode safe - while the PC display several files on start up and down, it stops on "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys" for about 20 seconds, then proceeds to a black screen with the words "Safe Mode" in the 4 corners and the mouse cursor at the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    3 safe mode with network - see "Safe Mode" above.





    4 safe mode with command prompt - see 'Safe Mode' above.





    5 last known good Configuration (Advanced) - see "repair your computer" above.





    6 start Windows normally - see "Repair your computer" above.





    7 debug mode - see "Repair your computer" above.





    I downloaded a DVD recovery based on Linux in knopper.net, allowing me to access important files, which I copied from the desktop to an external hard drive (4.1 GB iso file).





    PC Windows XP of my brother has a recovery disk, but my Windows Vista PC did not come with one. I've seen a few paid versions, but looked resources due to cool weather and free shipping.





    I can't tell if I have the 23-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, so I downloaded both versions of an open source sourceforge.NET startup repair, which I burned on 2 DVDs. After you run the startup repair program using two DVD, the diagnostic results have been uploaded online at ubuntu.com for review and technical analysis. Here are the links:

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/16019372/

    The last report ended with the words "start managed to fix...".  You can now restart your computer. "But I always encounter a blank screen (black or blue) when I try to log on to my PC.





    Here are my details of PC, if it is useful:

    GParted will try.

    Also, I would consider the old problem with fat systems, floppy disks etc. which sometimes a copy of sys files from a floppy disk to a hard drive has reactivated a bootable system.

    So, if system files have been damaged, then replace them since a Setup disk.  Because he goes to options, what kind of work.

  • Cannot start Windows Vista, even dvd installation

    I started my Dell Inspiron 1420 under Windows Vista Home Premium in place and led to a warning screen indicating an error in startup.  As stated, I started from my Vista installation DVD.  I ran the Startup Repair tool, and it failed.  The event log has been as follows:

    Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

    I then ran the System Restore tool and it failed.  I then ran the Memory Diagnostics tool, and it found no errors.  Given the lack of success, I decided to reformat and reinstall.  I used the Advanced Options in Windows Vista Setup DVD to remove the Partitions, format the drive and install Windows.

    Post installation Windows started successfully the first time but was running slowly.  I tried to download the drivers from the CD of Installation of Dell, but automatic execution failed, and when I tried to copy individual files, it also failed.  I decided to reboot the machine, but instead of Windows, I got a blank screen with white cursor blinking in the upper left corner.  I tried to reboot from the Installation DVD and once the progress opening white Windows files completed bar, I was presented with a black screen and a cursor again.

    Since then, I was not able to start any CD/DVD successfully.  What should I do now?  I am happy to reformat and try again, but I can not even on the screen to do.

    Help!  Please?

    Hello Nick_98,

    If we are hanging up when you use the installation disc, then the installation disc has problems or hardware on the computer problems that must be addressed before moving forward, there

    I advise to use diagnostics provided by your manufacturer to check for hardware problems.

    Please note that if the equipment passes the test, it simply means that no error has been detected it.  If we turn to the top of the sensitivity on the diagnosis, we can find errors.

    Best regards
