| Vista Home x64 | Location is not available, vista shuts down? Okay so I come home and turn on my laptop, and it's taking a bit longer to start up. It comes to the login page for my user and i put in my password, then I get this error. location is not available c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofi… refers to a location that is unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer.or on a network. check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network and then try again. if it still cannot be located the information might have been moved to a different location. and withing a couple seconds, it shuts down. I have windows vista home. I tried going to last good configuration. No help I also tried system restore to an earlier point, then it tells me my driver is corrupted, so it doesn't allow me to restore. HELP? |

| Vista Ultimate x64, SP2 | Re: Location is not available, vista shuts down? Try this, go in to the Bios, (keep hitting delete on startup), set first boot device to CD/DVD, when it boots up, boot from CD/DVD, then do a start up repair. Let us know how it goes, good luck. |

| Vista Home x64 | Re: Location is not available, vista shuts down? i restored it to an earlier point, and then this error came on when it logged on, windows must now restart because the plug and play has terminated unexpectedly. something like that |
