Cannot start Windows Vista Home Premium. Missing or corrupted system registry file.

And I don't have the windows installation disc to fix the problem.

Hello

1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

If that does not read this information

the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Hello

    Try to start in safe mode.
    Restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard.
    Then an advanced boot menu should appear.

    Here, select SafeMode (if possible)

    If this does not work, you will need to use the recovery disk and must recover the new laptop

    But this means that your disk should be formatted and you will lose the data stored on the HARD drive

  • Repair system and recovery of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Build Date 2009)

    Install us a computer with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium for our son system (14 years) in 2009. The system was working fine until 2 weeks when he started to grab him and restarted on its own while he was his school assignments. He tried to solve the problem itself by following the instructions you are invited by the system as insert discs and repair... Having done this, the system now we cannot access Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?

    Please indicate how we can restore the computer system so that he could continue his school assignment? Thank you.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista home Premium, but I don't have it on the disc, I got a serial number.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, the upgrade requires a previous version of windows must be installed before it can be used.

    When I installed the upgrade first, it worked perfectly, unfortunately I do not have a set of recovery discs before upgradeing from Vista to 7 (stupid I know!).

    I bought the components to upgrade my PC and want to reinstall windows, but cannot without Windows Vista Home Premium disc, and I can't find anywhere to download them, or find someone willing to let me copy their discs (I only need a copy discs, I have my own serial number).

    True to form, I also forgot to make disks of backup to my laptop before it got a virus (edition windows Home premium), feeling very stupid.

    If anyone knows where I can get copies of these discs, it would releive a lot of stress.

    That you have a legable Vista product key, then use these installation files to make a .iso and then bootable DVD/USB as shown here:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/Microsoft-Windows-and-Microsoft-Office-downloads.aspx

    This will install Windows Vista with the activation of the phone. Note using your Windows 7 update product key directly with the good Windows 7 .iso file directly should work and you should not need to install Vista. You can, or perhaps not to activate by phone.

  • Driver for hp business inkjet 1100 Series, Windows Vista home Premium x 64

    I recently bought a Dell Studio XPS laptop 1640. It has Windows Vista Home Premium x 64 operating system. My hp business inkjet 1100 printer series will not be installed with the hp installation CD. I need the correct driver. Apparently, hp does not offer one for Vista x 64. Is there a generic driver available that will do the work?

    HP provides the drivers for their products, not Microsoft.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&DocName=c00867904

    I'm sorry, but the above is the info provided by HP.
    Try the info provided by HP. as their workaround, the link above.

    If HP does not write drivers for their product, you're out of luck.

  • Unable to start boot corrupted files Windows Vista Home premium

    Hello all recently I got my hands on an old Toshiba laptop Satellite I'm supposed to have attachment to a friend, however, she doesn't remember the password for the laptop so I searched for ways to circumvent the password and delete it however, I ran into a major problem, according to the wiki site , how you put in a family of Windows Vista installation disc premium, you select your country and all that say before you install is a repair of your computer, but I can't so I thought well maybe if I hit install that it will recognize that there are already Windows Vista on the computer however to my dismay that it did not so I canceled the installation but now the computer does not even boot into Vista at all he'll just do Startup Repair whenever whenever it starts "Windows loading files" I already tried several things the bootrec command using command prompt without success, I tried to restore the master boot record by using the command-line without success either, here are the details as seen from the Startup Repair tool: signature of the problem GREATER TOMBENT AUTO there is also one that says corrupt boot configuration data and who says fix partition table I look it up online that I mean who is the code which is the ID of locale 1033 I looked up the exact problem this forum and he said if there is the disconnect a USB connected the problem with that is there is no USB device connected. To clarify what I said earlier about wiki, how what I tried to do initially was put in the trunk of installation disk from the CD in the environment of the installation, then click on repair your computer so that I could use CMD to reset the password online, I have seen that you can change the keys to self-retaining pull up of CMD by modifying the ease of access button but I thought that it would be easier because I don't have to understand how to fix the ease of access button after I did. So now I am at a loss as to what I could do next to important things to note that this computer doesn't have system restore points stored on it so it is not an option if you do not understand something please let me know and thank you for your suggestions. PS I will try a disk check, now that I think of it.

    Hello all I was able to restore the computer back in working order without password, I did however have download and burn a copy of Vista Home premium at my discretion. But I use the product key legally reactivate Windows Vista Home premium but I have to say that the search for the driver for this laptop has not been easy, especially the pilot Wi - Fi that I had to go

    burn it to a disk, and then install the software in this way. I really don't know not how I got the display driver correct because I downloaded the driver two booster and then the next minute it was display driver just because I checked on the user manual on Toshiba.com and it was the correct an Intel 3000 graphics thank you all so much for your help and I hope this helps someone else :-)
