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.

As far as the driver digital signatures, it crashes right after I see my screensaver and reads me this long error message.

a recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.
If you have a windows installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer. Click "repair your computer," and then choose a recovery tool.
Otherwise, to start Windows so you can investigate further, press the ENTER key to display the boot menu, press F8 for Advanced Boot Options, and select Last Known Good. If you understand why the digital signature cannot be verified and want to start Windows without this file, temporarily disable driver signature enforcement.
Status: 0Xc0000428
Info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

Enter=Continue|Esc=Exit

What I’ve tried so far:
Safe Mode (won’t work)
System Repair (won’t work)
System Check Point (none created)
Okay, it let me in Windows, where do I go from here?

How can I figure out the problem now that I’m actually in Windows now?

I’m paranoid, I feel like any minute it’s about to boot me off and give me that dreaded all blue prompt screen again-lol

I turn on the laptop and the acer logo comes up, then a black screne saying windows failed to start a hardware or software change could be the cause, and the option…launch startup repair, but after the startup repair finishes it says the system will work normally after the restart.

Then it restarts and the black load screen with the green windows bar come up but without the windows logo….then the blue screen of death comes up!!!

I’ve tried system restore but it says the acer disk has a hardware problem and safe mose won’t work either….

Is there anyway for me to get my picture files off the laptop?

i just bought a dell xps m1330 it runs on vista after using it for 4 days with internet it doesn’t start up.. it say’s Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

after that all i see is a black screen.. how do i fix this ? i also insertes the OS nothing happened.

Hello there I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running on a upgrade from windows XP to Windows Vista Premminum. I have been running this version for some time now and nothing has happend in which I can not fix myself.. I have recently come accross a problume that brings me up to Windows Boot Manager. I will read exactly what it says and how it says it.

Windows Boot Manager
Windows faild to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problume:

1. Insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3. Click "Repair your computer."

If you do not have this disk, Contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \windows\SYSTEM32\Drivers\SSHRMD.SYS

Status: 0xc0000098

Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

Thats when it ends. Now I know it tells me how to fix it but I have a problume.. When it tells me a critical system driver is missing or corrupt… dosn’t that mean its hardware failure or something like that and even if I put the disk in if im having hardware failure it wont work…

Also im concerned with what might have caused this problume. I know before the crash. I had gone onto Trend Micro 2008 anti viruse and it said a few things about windows changes and said that they were high so I changed them back. So im thinking when I changed them thats what happend… I know I might not be making a whole lot of sence but yeah im kinda confussed I have never seen this before….

So guys if you can help me out I will offer alot of points for it and if it is possable to instant message me at Musiclvrkd
That is an aim account so if you want to email me at that too it would be much appreciated. I dont go on yahoo answeres so I am more likly to get my responce if you give it that way thanks very much
