Windows Vista repair function
If the safe mode doesn't help, there is a last option of using the Windows
repair service. All system files are restored, and the PC will be returned to a
functional state.
If you have Windows Vista, proceed as follows:
1. Please insert the Windows Vista installation CD/DVD and start the PC again.
If the PC is not booting from the CD, you have to adjust your BIOS. To do this,
please proceed as described below.
2. Enter the desired language and click "Continue".
3. Click "Computer repair function" in the next window.
4. Select the operating system to be repaired. (If you have several operating
systems installed, all will be listed.)
5. Select "System restoration options > complete Windows PC restore“.
Restoration will start and Windows will be repaired.
Boot function (start from CD)
If the boot function is not activated on the CD-ROM proceed as follows to start
from your Windows CD:
1.To open BIOS, boot your PC and press the "Delete" key or "F2". Here you
can change important system settings.
2. In BIOS find the list determining the order of boot drives (boot sequence,
boot device or others) and set it to CD-ROM.
Note: It is recommended that you use your main board's manual to set up your
BIOS. All the steps and functions should be described precisely.
3. If you haven't already done so, place the installation CD into the CD-ROM
drive.
4. Confirm the change, so that BIOS is updated, and restart the PC. The CD
drives will be searched for bootable programs and the Windows CD will boot.
