Are you having trouble even starting your Vista computer?
Is your Vista locking up?
Though Microsoft Windows Vista was launched to solve reliability and security issues faced by Windows users, Vista faces common glitches such as:
• Authentication problems
• Driver problems
• Installing and updating system patches
• Stop Errors/Booting issues
• Sound and Audio issues
• Printer errors
• Setting up and troubleshooting a network
• Video and display issues
• Backup and system restore
• Disk related problems
• Damaged Registry Issues
• USB device issues
• Installation and upgrade problems and many more.
No matter what kind of problem you are facing- big or small, you can resolve them by making use of integrated and in-built repair features of Vista in the event that your computer is not operating correctly. These tools allow you to diagnose problems and repair them without having to boot into Windows.
If you are facing start-up problems, you can use the Startup Repair tool that can be accessed via the Windows Recovery Environment.

To start the automated repair, you need to insert the Vista CD/DVD into your CD/DVD drive and turn your computer ON. Your computer will start and you should see your BIOS listing your hardware and other information. When that information is cleared, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted.
As you boot your computer from the Windows Vista DVD you need to press any key that then brings up a black screen with a white status bar at the bottom stating ‘Windows is loading files.’ The Windows Setup environment will continue to load and when finished you will be presented with a screen where you can configure the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method options so that they are set correctly.
After entering the details, press the Next button that will take you at the main Windows Vista setup screen where you would normally install Vista on to a computer. Refer Figure 1.
Since you need to repair your Vista, you can now click on the Repair your computer option. A screen where the repair process will look for all Windows Vista installations on your computer comes up. When done, the System Recovery Options dialog box will open wherein you need to select the Vista installation that you would like to repair and if there are drivers you need to load in order for Vista to access any of your drives or other components, you need to 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 such as Startup Repair, System Restore, Windows Complete PC Restore, Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and Command Prompt. These system recovery options are present in your Advanced Tools option. (See Figure 2)
