You can get a blue screen, then here is the generic help for troubleshooting:
(You may be able to use the tool Nirsoft below to determine, from the minidumps if you have some
errors and codes.)
Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the info from the blue screen that would be
Help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And any other information such as STOP error
codes something like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.
As exampes:
BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87BC9510
BCP2: 8C013D80
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002
or in this format:
Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000
It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information
BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the
information on all accidents of a table - free
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/blue_screen_view.html
BlueScreens many are caused by old or damaged drivers, video drivers in particular, but there are other causes.
You can follow these steps in the Safe Mode if necessary or the command prompt Vista DVD or Options of recovery if your
system installed by the manufacturer.

I want to repair my windows pc automatically, how can I do?
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.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
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

Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space
Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.
The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.
I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space? Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.
I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.
Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?
All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?
This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.
Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.
Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.
If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).
Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.
Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.
Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?
No sign of a virus.
Hello
Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?
I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:
Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive
I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Let us know if it helps.

I have no product key for my windows vista... I need help... pleaze!
If Windows Vista is already installed on your system and your system still works (even if only in safe mode) so you can be lucky. There is a product called Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html which can be installed on your system and can retrieve the product key in the system files (only Vista does not provide this feature).
If you can not enter your system, it has already been formatted or something like that, there is very little that can be done. There is no place that keeps a record of the product keys related to individuals (or computers) that can be checked and Microsoft will not give without proof of purchase product keys (which IS the key product - the sales receipt or even the disc itself is not enough). You can't even borrow a disk from someone else because you need your product key to activate the program. The only choice is to buy another product (you'll probably need a commercial full version as an upgrade will not work on a non-production system or one where you cannot install a product allowing to level).
You can TRY to get Microsoft to activate your system without a product key if you have the disk (there are codes on the disc, which mean it is valid or not), but I doubt it will work but may be worth a try. To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country and press Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain that you have lost your product key, but the disc and it's the same PC. They can give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or they have very probably you will say you are out of luck and they can not help you).
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

I am selling my old laptop HP 6820 s to put the money to another and the main problem is that the original hard disk having bad sectors that prevent me from reinstalling Windows Vista Professional using the recovery disk. I was wondering if I bought a new hard drive of the same size and type, I was able to reinstall Windows Vista Business on it, especially since I still have the original key on the laptop itself.
If the hd meets the specification, you should be able to install using the recovery discs.

Hello
1st thing to try is the system in safe mode restore to before the problem
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
If that does not solve it read more
read the tutorial below
When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:
The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215#letmefixit
Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947242
If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

Clean installation of windows vista Professional (copy provided by msdn)
Hello
I have some old windows XP SP2 and sys. specs are Intel 3 Ghz processor and 2 GB of ramThe hard drive is only 40 GBI'm upgrading my computer (only the operating system) and you want to install the copy of windows vista business - provided by MSDNHere's the problemI've logged into my account and have a free copy, so when I try to download it through me the 4 step procedure and wants to be stored (downloaded) directly online in the TEMP FOLDER.-> (download, authorization, unpacking and installation processes).I want to do a clean install of VISTA professional AND would like to get rid of windows XP SP2.How would do this, because I wonder to execute a procedure of the 4 step (see arrow above).Would appreciate suggestions and help.Thank youMTHello mt4448,
MSDN software are downloaded as ISO files (finally they do when I download them). The ISO must be burned on a DVD and then it is simply a case of starting your PC, insert the DVD into your DVD drive and then restarting the PC again. You do not want to check that your DVD player is your first boot drive if the installation does not start.
Take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm
Also visit this link to change the priority of the disc: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_enable_cdrom_support_i.htm
If you have a modern PC 2 to 3 years already, the CD/DVD drive should be set as first boot option.
