  Do you have the Startup Repair?

  That's part of what you had to do to try to try to repair your computer.

  Read my post for you.

  If startup repair does not work, there is not much you can do about it.

  If you have the good DVD of Vista (not DEll, HP), attempt an Inplace upgrade repair (BUT you need the appropriate Vista DVD to do)

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If none of the works above, backup your data and reinstall:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  Good luck with it.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista update KB 2492386, 8007020 error Code

  Windows Vista update KB 2492386 attempted to install more than 75 times. The failure of this update to install disabled program Amazon Games & Software Downloader which I have been unable to repair or reinstall. Error code 80070020. I tried every fix I found on Microsoft, and I don't know what to do next.

  Problems with the installation of the updates Windows can occur when Windows Update and another program both try to access the same file. Although many programs may cause this problem to occur, the most common are antivirus programs and perform backups in real time of the file system.

  Try a clean boot, and then install the update.

  On 13 April, I fist notice this problem. I managed to it is resolved according to restore my computer to a previous point prior to the windows vista update have been installed. I didn't create a new restore point and also forgot to uncheck "automatic installation of windows. A few days later, the same problem after updates have been installed again on April 15. Unfortunately, this time I don't have a restore point previous April 15. So, I restored it on next day 16, but not resolved the issue. So I uninstall all vista windows update installed on April 15 but did not help either.

  Fortunately it affects only an admin user (user account that run windows update) all users are very well.
