I tried to use the vista disc to repair but it never works, it is said that he cannot fix.  I'm unable to start the computer because of all this help is appreciated!

Hi Chiomaa,

The file PSHED. DLL is part of the component that allows hardware errors to be generated.

Since you are unable to boot to Windows, try to run a checkdisk boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista.

Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

a. Insert the installation disc and restart your computer.

Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

For more information, see the article:

BIOS: Frequently asked questions

b. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

c. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

d. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

e. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

f. restart the computer.

For more information, you can consult the following article:

What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

If the problem persists, then you should make a backup of important data and try to reinstall Windows Vista.
