We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully?

We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.

If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren’t sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally

^^^ that is what i get when try to start my computer. no matter which option i try they all send me back to that same screen. I don’t have my windows xp cd to repair it or do whatever the cd is needed to do. anything i can do to fix it without the cd?

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause?

I was just using my computer(Windows Vista) listening to music (on it) while drawing something up for my class until my mouse and keyboard died luckily my BAMBOO pad was working so I "X" out the open windows and restarted my computer. As I was waiting the screen was black and the Windows Failed to start
showed up…and again my keyboard wasn’t working so the timer was over and it automatically went to repair, when that was done it showed again so I turned off my computer and turned it back on suddenly my keyboard worked and I just hit enter on "start windows automatically" then it just started working.

I looked up how to repair this problem but they all say I need the disc to Windows Vista which I don’t have so my question is How do I repair it now?

Can you help me fix my laptop?

Help, please! My laptop (Toshiba equium) isn’t working and I have no idea why. It has so much of my work on it and im desparate to get it up and running again, if any one can help I would be so so grateful.

It comes up with this on start up –
_________________________________________________________
Windows Error Recovery
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of 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.
(use the arrow keys to highlight your choice.)

Launch startup repair (recommended)
Start windows normally
_________________________________________________________

If I choose ‘Launch startup repair’ then it comes up
‘windows is loading files…’
then a loading screen then a window comes up saying –
‘startup repair is checking your system for problems…’
after just a couple of seconds this disappears and then a window that says
‘windows cannot repair this computer automatically’ comes up with theses options –
‘view diagnostic repair details’
‘view advanced options for system recovery and support’
‘finish’
And ‘cancel’
__________________________________________________________

If I choose ‘Start windows normally’ then a load screen appears for a few seconds before it simple restarts and goes back to the ‘Windows error recovery’ screen.

Please help.
The diagnositic repair retails are miles long, to long to type out.

I do not want to lose my information, I have important work on my laptop – please help.
