  ccorr,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  You will need to provide additional information.

  What version of Windows and service pack level are you?
  Do you get any error messages?
  If something has changed on your system prior to this issue (hardware or software)?
  What "Startup disk" do you have?  It is the manufacturer of PC?

  Here are a few things to try:
  The first thing to do is to boot your system and start pressing F8 as soon as it starts booting.  You will get the Windows startup options screen.  Select "Disable automatic restart in the event of system failure" and let it restart.  When it starts, it can now stop with an error screen and give an error message and code.

  Disconnect all external devices (printers, USB Hub, drives external, etc.) and try to start.

  Post back with the error information and results. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Windows could not start. And I don't have an installation CD. Can someone help me?

  I have an Asus and since it fell from my Office I can't start Windows, it starts with a black screen and tells me to insert my disc of installation because of some "hardware or software changes."  I can never remember you get a Vista installation CD.

  Hello jkwendel,

  If you were not provided with a Vista CD, chances are that the image of the operating system is stored on a hidden partition on your PC. What you would ned to do is restore back to factory conditions. You, of course losing everything that is currently on your PC then, if all goes well, you have all the important files already saved.

  Check your PC user guidfe supplied with the PC to see what you need to do to restore to factory conditions.

  Alternatively, you can contact Asus and ask if they can provide you with your particular computer recovery discs. They will, fo course, charge you for these and the price could be higher than £50.

• Need to reinstall Vista, but don't have a recovery disk or a Vista disk

  Hello.

  I have a Sony Vaio CR series (model VGN-CR36G/B) laptop. It comes with Windows Vista Home Premium OEM. I don't have a disk of Vista when I bought my computer. Also, I received no recovery discs, although I had a recovery partition set up on top of the computer.

  My hard drive has experienced a total mechanical failure, which means that I could not recover all the data. I now have a new hard drive cool. My question is, since I've paid for Vista delivered during the purchase of the computer, can I get a DVD of Vista now Microsoft? I am currently in the United States, which means that contact with Sony Center India (where I bought the computer) will take time. I have my Windows product key. Who will be of any help?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You really need the Sony OEM disc as it has special drivers and utilities on this issue only Windows retail version
  would not. It is 'possible' that the rest of Sony have the same model and you can use those
  disks if they will work for you other wise, like languages.

  This is my generic answer, so that you know some options well since you will need to re - install from
  scratch on a new drive hard is really no choice except to get the disks.

  Check with your system manufacturer that they all slightly different methods. They may have included a recovery
  Partition or other methods to restore the default value. Also your system manufacturer will sell you the physical disks at a great price
  Since you already own windows.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

• I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent. What can I do?

  I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent.  What can I do?

  You have apparent dbx file corruption.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
  http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

  Compact often as specified above.

  And backup often.
