  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  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.

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

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.

• Random freezes in windows 7 long after you install service pack 1

  Long after the installation of Service pack 1 for Windows 7 both my desktop and my laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium started to freeze randomly.  My desktop hard drive PC turns on solid and I can hear the hard drive actively reading or writing. During this time my mouse works, but not the icons on my desktop or the status bar respond to my clicks.  It stays like that long enough to make me do a hard cock down and restart.  How he is sitting there with the disk hard churning away again for a long time then boots into windows while my storage controller to say there is an error with my discs... I have reset it to normal and everything is fine until the next time, the freeze occurs.

  My laptop is a bit different.  All of a sudden out of nowhere, the cursor turns into this lively circle which means that he is busy doing something.  When she do that I can't do anything else that move my mouse around the screen.  Once again here, I have to make a hard stop and restart to fix the problem.

  I downloaded and installed a fix from microsoft last night about this problem, but it still persists that my wife said she had to restart the laptop this morning already for the same problem.  I seems that the problem is more prevalent on my laptop but not so widespread on my desk.  They are two Dell computers.  My desktop computer is a XPS-420 and my laptop is an Inspiron 1545.  The Office has a core 2 duo cpu and the laptop has a pentium dual core processor. My office has 8 GB of memory RAM and two 320 GB hard drives in raid 0 (stripe) mode Setup. I have two logical drives in the space of a raid. C: drive (120 gb) contains my operating system and a disk D: (460 GB) contains programs and data. It has an ATI graphics in it.  I think it's a Radeon HD 3725 or 3750.

  The laptop is just a base with all the bells and whisles which come with the Inspiron name.

  Oh and by the way, I have already made a clean boot to verify that the problem does not lie with the 3rd party software and drivers.  The question still persists in clean boot mode.

  I start the computer in SafeMode too for a few minutes (maybe 20 minutes) without any problem at all.  But it was a little time to test.

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

  I had more than one installed antivirus program... I did not even notice this... This might be the reason for freezing it... just wait and see
