Windows Windows vista problems

Hello everyone,

I have had several problems with my computer.

First of all when I turned my computer on I got a message saying:

'Your computer is suffering from a recent hardware or software fault.
The file is windows/config32/config/system.
My windows would not come on.
It said that windows failed to load because the system reistry file is corrupt or missing.'

I was then instructed to repair windows however it would not let me. As a result of this I was told to do a new install.

Finally once I tried to re-install windows vista I got a message reading:

'The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected

Error. Windows Installation cannot proceed,. To install Window, click

“OK” to restart the computer, and then restart the installation'


Can someone out there please help me as I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

 

probably have a old vista disk.. take out all but 1 gig of ram and reinstall- should work

 

Do I do this in BIOS settings?

 

no.. it kinda sucks but the original vista disks have problems on certain rigs with over 2 gigs of ram

you have to open up the computer and remove them- you can get an updated sp2 disk from microsoft though or slipstream it yourself.. or by other ways

 

Thanks very much mate it worked Your a Legend!!!

However once I installed vista I tried to put the ram back in, I got a message saying that windows had been shut down to prevent further damage t my computer. I took the extra ram back out and it worked fine. Is there any way to get it back in? Is the ram maybe damaged?

Thanks your helps been invaluable,
David

 

windows update and put the ram back in.. no no legend here lol just stuff you pick up along the way thanks though- it was a problem on vista's release, they fixed it with sp1
