You don't say how you have tried to use the Recovery DVD.
Have you set the DVD drive to be 1st in the Boot Order, and boot from the Vista DVD? Or, do you have factory recovery Disk? Have you tried to go in Safe mode; tapping F8 at startup? -- Mick Murphy - Qld (Sunshine State) - Australia "leroy.superstar" wrote: I have had my vista laptop for around a year now, and the other day while a windows install was installing my battery ran out and the laptop shut its self down, evey since then everyime i turn it on, a blue screen appears saying a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to your computer, with other indormation below, i have tried using the recovery cd but still not working anyone help? -- leroy.superstar

Hi,
Try the last known good configuration. Hit F8 as boot immediately after the initial POST (splash screen) and before Vista begins to load. Choose this from the resulting boot menu. You should never, ever install or update anything without having the system on wall power. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "leroy.superstar" wrote in message ...
