Explaining solutions to common problems with windows Vista.
Use the automated repair tool called “Startup Repair” if you are facing any problem in Windows Vista. Startup Repair is a diagnostic tool, which can be accessed via the Windows Recovery Environment. To start the Windows Recovery Environment boot your computer off of the Windows Vista DVD. To start this process, insert the Vista DVD into your DVD drive and turn your computer on. Your computer will start and you would see your BIOS listing your hardware and other information. When that information is cleared, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a similar command prompt as below.
Pess a key if you needboot the computer from the Windows Vista DVD will do, on your keyboard when you see the above prompt status bar at the bottom stating “Windows is loading files”. After a while, the status bar would turn completely white and you would see a screen stating that Windows is loading.
Click on the “Repair your computer” option. It would bring you to a new screen where the repair process will search for all Windows Vista installations on your computer. When you finish you will be presented with the System Recovery.
Now choose the Vista installation you prefer to repair and if there are drivers you want to load in order for Vista to access any of your drives or other components, then click on the “Load Drivers” button to load them. When ready, press the “Next” button to continue. If the repair process does not detect any problems starting Vista, it will display a list of recovery tools. Recovery tools are described further in the Advanced Tools Overview section below. As you want to perform an automated repair, you would click on the “Startup Repair” option under this list of tools. It should be noted also that if the repair process detected that you previously had problems starting Vista, instead of displaying the list of recovery tools, it would have automatically started the Startup Repair tool for you.
“The automatic repair process” may take quite a while. Please be patient as Vista tries to find and repair any problems on your computer. During this process your computer may reboot multiple times, which is normal. During this process you will see a dialog box asking if you would like to restore your computer using System Restore.
Click on the “Cancel” button at this prompt and then click on the “Cancel”button and continue with the Startup Repair process. The repair process would now continue to scan your installation for errors to fix.
Click on the “Send information about this problem” option. Otherwise, click on the “Don't send”option. You wouldl now be at a summary screen.
Now click on the “Finish” button to reboot your computer to exit the repair process or if you would like to try some more advanced options then click on the “View advancedoptions for system recovery and support”.
