• Vista Startup Repair loop - OEM disc only

  My son has this problem after having just disable his laptop ASUS Vista after that that it froze. At the time, he was installing a new software (Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2009) and an error of the pilot came to a Belkin USB peripheral series that he had added previously.

  Repair system just keeps looping - it gives the choice between repair or start Windows normally, but once it times out he just reloops without anything to do. I tried F8 to try other options, but none of these works (for example: start in safe mode, return to the last known good configuration, etc.).

  As Vista was loaded with the ASUS OEM, the Vista recovery disc does not offer anything but wipe the disc on which Vista is loaded, which means of course the entire disc is how they put in place.

  Are there other options?

• I moved some film music and video files... AND their fiolders... NOW whole systems gone crazy loop

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  1. YEou programs have problems with
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  We assume that your machine does not start successfully because you don't give details specific, other than: "" NOW all systems gone crazy loop".

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. 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.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Equium A200-Vista repair always at boot

  Dear all,

  This is my first time in the forums and I need help.
  I have a computer Equium A200 laptop running Windows Vista 32. Recently, I got a malware problem and my only recourse was to erase everything and use the Toshiba Recovery disk that was provided.

  I reinstalled and the computer restarted without any problem... However if I stop completely for a short time, when the machine starts again the Windows Startup Repair keeps operating. I have let it run its course, but it never actually repairs anything. I even wiped all new just ran the recovery disc that put on the basis of windows vista, closed the machine for about a minute and then he did it again, windows startup repair yes returned.

  My bios is the latest version and I ran a test on the memory and hard drive... all diagnoses appear correct.

  My laptop is still under warranty.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you
  Ray

  Hi dude

  Your question is really strange to be honest I have never seen anything like it.
  Of course, the repair function on Vista is known to me and my repaired the system Vista in the past too, but this doesn t always appear at the start of the laptop.

  However, I imagine that this issue has something to do with your system and you should first try to clean with the CCleaner. It is a free tool and it repairs the operating system and the registry.

  More upgrade Vista to the last State. Install SP1 and all other updates.
  Maybe it helps!

  Good luck

  I also thought that the delivery of the missing update through bootable usb... but I'm not sure if this is possible... someone has it already tried? anyone with the same situation as mine? pls help... Thank you...

  You copy the image of the ISO file on the disk, Boot from the disk you...

  If the Bios of your laptop can't boot from USB: NO, you can not start him.

  You only know if your Bios/motherboard supports the boot from USB, or not.

  Now, you went beyond the scope of these Vista Help Forums.

  Now, you also have a hardware problem.

  Most portable computers have a DVD player; especially if they have Vista preinstalled.

  I suggest that you get your repaired/replaced DVD drive, or check the manual of your laptop to see if your card motherboard/Bios support boot from USB.

  When you sort this possibility, try a repair of the boot with the link "ISO file/make a disc of ' I you provided.

  If this does not work, reinstall Vista.

• My computer guard direct me to the Windows Startup Repair loop. Is this a virus? If this is not the case, what should I do?

  OK, here's a little history:
  When was surfing the Internet (using Mozilla Firefox), he froze and said that he "did not." Then I left the computer alone for a good 15 minutes, but to realize that nothing happened. From there, I decided to disconnect the computer to see if I can re - open Firefox. But when I tried to connect it back, the computer take me on the desk. It was stuck at the screen that says 'Welcome' (the form that appears after clicking on your user name) in the end, I turned off the computer by holding the power button, because there was nothing I could do. When I turned on the computer a few minutes later, it was time that I met a huge problem.

  The problem:
  When I turned it back on, a black screen appears that gives you the ability to boot your system with a repair on your computer, or start normally. I chose "start normally. After that, it took me a blue screen with a window that says "Startup Repair". He began to scan the computer saying «attempted repairs...» "When I saw this, I turned immediately shut down the computer, thinking it was some sort of virus that pretends to fix the computer. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on for the second time. Of course, it's the same thing. But this time, I allow the scanning process to complete. When it was over, he said that the system could not be repaired and advised me to contact Microsoft, with my "contact information." I took this as a red flag, and click Cancel. I suspected it was an attempt to identity theft. (Though, I could be wrong, of course.)

  Honestly, I don't know if if there is indeed something wrong with the computer or if it's a virus.

  I tried to find out by going online and looking for solutions. From there, I tried a method where you press F8 several times until the Advanced Boot Options go up and selected "Last known Configuration" that did not work. I also heard on the "chkdsk" method, but I don't know how to do and there is no guarantee this will work.

  After that, I did more research and realized there were several ways to solve this problem. But when I went through the tutorials, the steps have been very confusing to me. I felt like most of these tutorials aimed computer technicians or people who knew in fixing computers. The steps were so confused until I found myself referring more questions than real answers!

  So now I'm reaching out to help, and I really need! It would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to format all my data.

  Please keep in mind that I am a lover of computers operating. The two programs I normally use are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Word. So please don't be assuming that I know my way in and out of a computer. I'm no where near, in every sense of the term, an 'Expert '. If you can, I would like a simple, easy to follow, simple tutorial, step by step, which is not turned to professional users. Still, I am not very competent in operating computers.
