Vista-32 bit OS load problem (update)
I finally got a screen with the choice to Repair, Recover or Restore the OS.
I chose Restore and when asked what to use, chose disks. It took the 3 DVD disks made the day I bought the PC (I posting from the laptop) and restored from them. All was well until the MS updates came down and were installed. SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!! I found the MS fixes for problematic updates and ran that. It said it fixed three problems but was not specific as to which ones. It's called MicrosoftFixit. It booted fine after the fixes. I'll know after it's turned on and off a few times if it worked. |

I've never heard of that one before. Thanks for the information. It booted fine after the fixes. I'll know after it's turned on and off a few times if it worked. Hopefully a good ending. Please do let us know if it's really fixed. - Bill |

I happen to know about the program and its effectiveness, but was in no way pointed in this direction. Hopefully your fix is permanent in this case. Harry. It booted fine after the fixes.
