Howdy, Right, so I've had my Vista for a while, I don't remember exactly when I got it, but today, about 1400 Central, after I rebooted I was so extremely politely informed that my winload.exe is corrupted, alright, so that's an easy fix, just manage to get to Command Prompt, and run fixboot outta C:\windows. Only problem is the only commands that work when I go to boot up my computer, before it gives me the lovely error screen, are ESC - Boot Menu, F10 - Settings, and holding F1, which gets me to a useless BIOS screen that tells me either winload.exe, or memtest.exe is corrupted, depending on what commands I choose. Any help in getting to command prompt/DOS/whatever y'wanna call it, would be greatly appreciated. **It's an HP Pavilion, if it matters any. -- rndmwitedude |

Unfortunately none of the function keys are working other than F1 and F10. It seems to ignore any command I issue other than what I posted previously. Thanks though. -- rndmwitedude |

Due to my... lack of a life without my computer, I downgraded to XP. Thanks for the attempt at help, and hope this helps someone, though I don't see how it really can. =P -- rndmwitedude |
