    Hello - anyone can help me find a solution to my problem?

    My problem: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or damaged. Status: Oxc000014C

    I tried everything the sytem advised through SafeMode etc... Also, I tried to reload my OS - last updated through the windows update site. However, he did not - probably because all updates from MS, which means that it would not load from the DVD.

    It's a whole new system customized with MS Vista 64 bit, Office 2007 Untimate, Asus MB, 250 GB HD ATI video card. I used Vista for almost a year and had no problems until today. All of the original software.

    I have my thesis and several files, I was working on someone - I was doing consulting work to supplement my income as a student... Unfortunately, when I finally used my system last night it was ok. Now I canoe get my system up and running.

    Mark Merci for your comments.

    I found myself communicating directly with Microsoft and they were able to get my system up and running without losing me data. Hooray for Microsoft!

    My system is back to normal and I am assuring you that all my files are backed up on DVD.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    You have a hardware problem any.  Here are some tips for troubleshooting hardware problems, but they are fundamental and I guarantee you you will succeed with them (and some options should be analyzed with spare parts which you probably haven't) but it's worth a shot. http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

    If this does not help, then it's time to hold a workshop of computer repair of reputable (NOT Geek Squad or one of these centers of department store) or return to the manufacturer for diagnosis and repair.  Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best choice.  Don't forget to back up your data before sending or bring it because there is a good chance they're going to wipe the hard drive clean in the process.
