frenzal rhomb Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yellow Submarine - my home system is stuck in this mode and cycles down and then back to this. I have rebooted in safe mode and ran repair system etc - the whole works and nothing fixes it. Now I have to take it back in and pay approx 150.00 to get it working. My question os this - isnt this a Vista issue or computer issue if it cant configure its own updates that Im stuck paying for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennykravitz2004 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Try any of this? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358 You may have to go back a few days for a good restore point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you have the Vista O/S install disc, you can use the "Method 1" listed in there. Or did you not get an install disc? If you can get any Windows Vista install disc - which you should have with all of the original stuff you got when your laptop/PC - you should be able to to do this yourself without having to pay.

lennykravitz2004 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would think so. You could try it and look for the Microsoft Recovery Console. I'm completely guessing here... but are you using a Dell? If so, that CD or DVD should have the utilities you'd need, but i think they call it "Dell Recovery Console" or something like that. May be obvious, but be extremely careful and be sure to use Recovery Console or you could overwrite everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
