| Vista Business 32-bit | Null.sys & Windows Away Mode System Issues Hey all, Re-installed Vista Business a few weeks ago, and since then it's been hanging on the green scrolling bar screen and requires between 2 and 20 restarts before it will boot properly. Narrowed it down to Null.sys failing to boot. I've read that this can be caused by Microsoft Away Mode System, which installed itself on me (without me realising). Now in device manager under hidden devices Null is claiming null.sys does not exist in the correct place (although it does). The suggestion is that this away mode system has corrupted the Null driver. Anyone got any ideas for fixes? I've tried all the usual Vista fixes with the disk etc. And i've uninstalled the Away Mode System, but it seems the damage is done and the problem persists Cheers!
