BSOD at Vista Boot


Normally I know enough about computers to fix the problems I create
myself, but from time to time a problem springs up and I have no idea
how to fix it, or even what the problem actually is.

My laptop won't boot up Windows Vista. It blue screens about 5 seconds
into Vista loading up, then it retarts itself. The error code is...
"0x0000007b (0x80599bb0, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)" The
problem all started out of nowhere when I returned home from watching my
sisters kids. I had downloaded and update of some kind that seemed
perfectly innocuous, it installed, I shut my computer down and when i
got home and tried to boot it up, that's what it told me, and has told
me everytime time since. The Repair utillities that I can run won't
touch whatever the problem is. I've run system restore but it doesn't
do anything. And I thought I had backups made, but apparently the
backup utility won't even recognize them. I'd just re-install Windows,
but Acer never gave me a re-install cd. Actually, it never came with
any cd's. Apparently it's been put onto a Partition on the hard drive
that never gets deleted when you re-install. Only problem is, before I
do re-install it (however I manage to do that) there's some pretty
important crap I need off the C drive, and possibly the D drive.

Now, it's been lying around for a bout a month and I'm getting pretty
sick of not being able to use it.

If anyone has any ideas or anything of use I am eternally grateful!
