Run Startup Repair For Vista

Windows Vista comes with the following set of system recovery options: Startup Repair, System Restore, Windows Complete PC Restore, Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and Command Prompt. Excluding Windows Complete PC Restore--a utility not included with Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium--all versions of Windows Vista include these diagnostic and repair tools.


Startup Repair is an ideal tool to use if Vista fails to boot. The application will search for and attempt to repair corrupt system files, harmful registry changes, or other problems that may prevent your computer from booting to the operating system. Windows Vista users can access Startup Repair from the Windows Vista DVD.


Instructions


1. Power on the computer. Insert your Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive. Boot to the optical drive.


2. Select your language and regional options from the menu. Click "Next" to proceed.


3. Click "Repair your computer." Choose "Windows Vista" as your operating system, then click "Next." Click "Startup Repair." Windows will attempt to repair any corrupted system files or startup settings.


4. Follow the onscreen prompts to restart your computer and boot Windows Vista normally. Remove the Windows Vista DVD from the disc drive.
