I tried turning on my laptop and it takes me to a screen which says "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." It then gives me two options, which are "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally." I have tried using both, but either choice makes my computer restart and takes me to the same screen. Alt+Ctrl+Del restarts my computer as well. Escape shuts of the timer to automatic selection. I have tried running both the recovery CD and the support CD, and neither works because Windows is not operating. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do?
I cannot give the computer any commands via mouse, and it will not respond to any keyboard commands either.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the troubles you’re going to have running Vista. Install Winxp. It is much better than Vista.
Try that?
asap u turn the pc on try to get the cd/dvd drive to open n inset the recovery disc in, then restart the pc, then keep hitting the del. key or F-12 or F-10 either one of these will make ur cd run
if that dont work, contact assus n see what can they do to help you! good luck
Put in the CD, restart the computer, tell it to boot from CD, go through the steps and press R for repair.
This is what you do when you can’t get it to recovery normally.
The other option is a complete reformat.
Have you tried hitting f8 when it restarts, does it give you the choice of safe mode?
