Please Help!
I installed Vista Ultimate on my mom?s computer a few weeks ago. It was running fine for days, and then I restarted it after updating AVG 8.0 Pro. I got to the user selection screen fine, and then logged in ok, but vista automatically loaded to the documents window for some reason. I closed the window and there was nothing but a black screen behind it. I was able to launch task manager, I tried to relaunch explorer.exe and nothing happened. I did some searching online others had similar problems but could not boot to the OS at all. Other people had problems with GFX cards but id have a hard time believing that?s what?s going on in my situation. I also tried disabling all non Microsoft services/start up in msconfig.
One more thing, if I need to repair the installation, how do you go about that with vista? I know XP gave you that option when you boot from CD and pick the partition you want to modify or create. It gives you the option to repair by pressing r
I booted vista the same way and from what I can see you can only repair the booting process not the entire installation.
Well that?s my scenario, sorry it is so much
Thanks for any help
