Vista - Vista load bar

Hello everyone....this is my first post here. I hope i'm posting in the right section.

I have a very nasty problem with my windows vista 64 ultimate. My pc usually runs al day from 10 am to about 12 pm.

Almost everytime i have to power it up in the morning, it gets stuck at that loading bar. I have to restart it and go in to safe mode and do a system restore.

It didn't bother me a lot up until now but this morning i almost had to reinstall it because i did a lot of system restores from different checkpoints and it still didn't load up.

Finally.....i was about to reinstall it when i though i should give it another go, and did a system restore from a checkpoint that i chose at random and i managed to load windows.

What can i do to fix this error? I'm afraid that next time i wont be so lucky and i'll be forced to reinstall it. I didn't have this error from the begining. I installed vista and it ran fine for about 2 weeks. After that, it started to give me these kinds of errors.

Thanks.

hello Carcass, and Welcome to the Vista Forums,

You may want to take a look at the following tutorials

System Files - SFC Command

Startup Repair

One thing I would strongly advise is to Backup Everything in the way of Personal files Now just in case your problems do escalate, and you end up locked out of your system.

Hope this helps

thank you for the welcome and for the tutorials . I'll try them out. Cheers
