Vista SP1 problem
I installed SP1 onto a laptop and after about three quarters of an hour into
the process, the laptop switched itself off. I restarted and got a choice between Repair or Start Windows normally. I made the mistake of picking the second option. A huge series of files began to be opened, with the names of each flashing on the screen. Then it seemed to get stuck on a file in the registry. Or it may have been opening a long series of files with the same address becuase I couldn't see the end of the filenames. At this point I restarted and picked the F8 option. I chose the Repair option from a list of about 8 options (including Restore to anearlier point). This led once again to my original choice of Repair or restart normally. I now picked Repair. That was about three hours ago. The repair process still appears to be going ahead. Do I just have to be patient, or has the repair system stalled? Thanks for any suggestions. JH
