After nearly 10 months of peaceful usage on my home-assembled PC, Vista
Ultimate now refuses to boot up. This happened soon after installing last Patch Tuesday's Windows Updates. It boots fine till the point where the Windows Vista logo should appear (i.e., after the progress bar), after which everything just freezes up. Turning on boot logging shows that all drivers loaded properly. I tried all options in Safe Mode, Recovery Mode (by booting from the Vista Setup DVD), disk scan, memory scan, etc. Strangely, running Repair Windows by booting from the Vista Setup DVD also hangs the system. Before I reformat my hard-disk, any other options I should try? Thanks in advance! - Rajesh |

Namaste, Rajesh! The Startup Repair tool generates a log file as it runs. You can find this log file at: %windir%\Logs\Srttrail.txt Even though the Repair appears to hang, you could examine this Srttrail.txt file, to see if there are clues how far it got, and why it died. Boot from DVD, go to Repair, Command prompt, and run "notepad %windir%\Logs\Srttrail.txt". Hope it helps a bit, |

See my posting above, pulled from another (non-PC related) newsgroup.
Is the solution hogwash? I do not know, just making Vista users aware of what "might" be going on. A MS MVP should have a more complete answer. WGD "Rajesh Shenoy" <rajesh_shenoy> wrote in message news:a360 [..] |

BBSpot is a well-known humor site and you've apparently failed to realize their articles are jokes. So it would be good if you stopped compounding your mistake by pointing to the BBSpot article as a solution! Malke |
