  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• After you install service pack 2 for windows vista

  After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.

• Unable to access Windows XP after you download Service Pack 3, asking login that wasn't Setup previously

  I downloaded the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition and now whenever I go on the computer I am prompted with a screen Windows Log In with owner under the user name and the screen is demanding a password.

  I have never set up a password and the other never needed before but now cannot access the windows that I can not connect.
  Any help?

  Hello Stephen,

  Try to login as an administrator and update the password for your limited account or try to start your system in safe mode and see if you can log in as an administrator.

  If you are on the home screen, you press CTRL + ATL + DEL (combination of three keys) twice to access the login prompt. Also confirm if you can change your username and login from there.

  I hope this helps.

• Why can't I download service pack 1 for windows xp

  When I try to install service pack 1a for windows xp, I'm meeting the message that I am unable to connect to the server.  Do I have reason to assume that the problem is on your side? Anyway what can I do to fix the problem?  I jumped on it and installed 2 and 03:00 I'm going to have problems because of this?

  SP1a is useless until you install SP2 and SP3. Do not forget to include also updates well-too-100 post SP3 security, too!
