I turn on the laptop and it comes up with the acer logo Then it says windows failed to start a recent hardware or software change might be the cause and it gives to option to launch startup repair or start windows normally..

When I click system repair, the green windows load bar comes up as usual but WITHOUT the windows logo!!! Then a window comes up for startup repair but it finishes and restarts the laptop,,,and just does the same again!!

What can I do? All my pictures are on the laptop
I have windows vista and an acer aspire 5920
I tried safe mode but the black screen just has lots of writing and does nothing else

i have an acer aspire M5640 and when i press the start button a few seconds later i it fails to boot up with the following symptoms:

3. Click "repair your computer"

Okay so i got spyware today on my pc. Then i downloaded a program that found the spyware and said it would erase it. But it said it had to restart the computer to completely remove the spyware. I restarted my computer and its says "windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause." I tried windows memory diagnostic, doesnt work. I tried all the options of starting it, such as safe mode, doesnt work. and i dont have a windows installation disc. I dont know what to do.
this probably isnt gonna help but the file is " CI.dll" and the status is "0xc0000098" and it says windows failed to load because a required file is missing or corrupt.

When I restart my computer I keep getting a black screen with the message

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If
windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly, startup repair can help
diagnose and fix the problem. If power was interrupted during startup. Choose start
windows normally

Launch startup repair

Start windows normally

When I choose either one it goes back to this same screen asking it again. I also tried
using the reinstalling dvd windows vista home basic 32bit

When I press f 8 it gives me a list of options on advanced boot options
I,ve tried repair your computer and safe mode and it still does the same thing
