to fix registries

In most cases, very bad idea. There is no reason to play with registry.

Did you try Safe Mode?

yeah i tried safe mode

would this be something from the software/OS, or a hardware problem?

What Vista DVD is it? Full version, or some recovery DVD?

[aroweyen]

its a full version where u can reinstall the OS or do a repair... i dont want to reinstall my OS so im trying to check here if i can still do something other than that

[Broni]

If it's full version, you can try repair installation. It won't touch your data.

i came accross to this info

IF YOU HAVE THE VISTA SP1 INSTALLED:
This will not work if you have the SP1 installed unless your Vista installation DVD includes the SP1, or you create a Vista SP1 slipstream installation DVD


i actually have SP1 as update, my DVD does not have SP1
how do i create SP1 slipstream?

hi i tried booting from disc again
and after i click install, it gave me 2 option whether to upgrade or start with fresh installation... but upgrade is grayed out, and at the bottom it says upgrade is option is disabled... im puzzled coz why is it saying its disabled??? is there anything that i could do to have that option?

[Broni]

You didn't read instructions carefully enough:

1. Insert the Vista DVD into the DVD drive while your current Vista is running.
WARNING: Do not boot the computer and run the Vista installation DVD from boot. A upgrade install will not work this way.

2. Click on Install Now to start the upgrade. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: If AutoPlay does not load the Vista setup screen, then open your DVD drive in Computer and click on the Setup file.

oh i see, but i cant load my win vista... its stuck on black screen so i cant do that inside vista...
would it be possible if i will install another copy of vista in my other partition D:\ and open vista dvd there and upgrade my original vista w/c is in C:\?

[Broni]

I don't think, it's possible.
You could install Vista on D to save your data from C though.

oh T_T
is there another way to to fix my original vista on c:\?
i have some important programs installed there and i dont have the disc, and i dont have the drivers for some of my hardware, so i really need the original vista on c:\ so as much as possible im trying to get solution for it other than reinstalling the OS
