Vista Repeatedly Fails to Start
I am running Vista Home Premium on a new 2-week old Dell. Several times
Vista has failed to start. Sometimes I just get a black screen. Other times I get the "Windows failed to start" message and have to go through a system recovery. Other times it seems to start ok but the screen resolution and other settings have changed. What is going on and what can I do to get out of this situation? Thanks for any help. Steve M.

It is under Warranty.
But, have you gone to Dell's website, and downloaded updated Drivers for your computer; especially the Graphics Card -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Steve" wrote: I am running Vista Home Premium on a new 2-week old Dell.

Clearly it is not fit for purpose and you must contact Dell - it's their problem. If you try to fix it yourself, you are giving them ammunition to blame you for breaking it. SteveT
