Cannot Start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.?

August 22, 2009

Windows failed to start . A recent hardware or software chagne might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. insert Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose you language and click next.
3. Click repair your computer

Other options
Safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
Last known good configuration
Start windows normally.

I have done the first option and it just says if the errors were fixed correctly then windows should start normally.
All the other options just load and super fast blue screen flashed and then it reloads everything.
It is a dell inspiron 6400
I am running windows vista home premium 32bit

i kind of know what im doing, but what i did didnt work out, so i guess what im doing must be wrong, but I hope thats where you come in and help me out 🙂

Basically i switch on my PC it loads up then the blue screen of death as they cal it comes up and it displays that error.
So basically im screwed since i cant log onto the pc 🙂 (sarcasm face)
I can however log onto the pc in safe mode.

So what i have done so far is install the recovery console.
I ran the recovery console as the PC was booting up and i replaced the supposed corrupt software file in the C:\windows\system32\config\ folder with the one from C:\windows\repair\system. Once i did that i exited the recovery console and woooopdidooo to my amazement the pc logged on and no blue screen came up, at this point i was over the moon, mazed at my accomplishment and basking in my glory.
However i after i logged on, was done surfing the web. I shut down.
I then put the PC back on, and I was shattered…the blue screen, with the same error was back 🙁
sooo now im totally stumped as to what to do..
I seriously dont want to re install the OS since that is not really an option, i have really important programmes on the PC which are configured and it would be a huge headache re installing them.

So if you can help me, which i am praying u can, please please help..i’d be so grateful you have no idea.
THANK YOU
Thanks! Will try that soon, I did have Mcafee installed however and xoftspy…so i doubt its malware, but at the same time i hope it is..then at least i know what the problem is.

How to run registry fixing software if the computer will not boot at all even in safe mode?

Have Blue Screen of Death – olecli32.dll corrupt. Desktop will not boot – get the blue screen even in when trying to use Safe Mode. I get advice from people to run registry fixing software but how do I get the software to the dead computer and how do I run it once I get it there? I have another desktop I could use.

Will the virus protection lock up my computer?

July 29, 2009

I believe my friend has a virus on her computer. She was downloading from lime wire and the screen went blank. Wont boot into safe mode and she does not know if she has any virus protection. Assuming she does and it’s just not up to date here—if I pull the hard drive and put it into a hard drive enclosure and hook it up to my laptop to scan it if she has virus protection will it clash with my virus protection and lock up my laptop.
