Windows won't boot

When I try to boot Vista (Home Premium 32bit), the loading screen with the green bar doohicky shows up followed by a black screen with the mouse cursor. It oscillates between "working" and regular cursor but in the end, the computer just restarts and it does that again if I try to boot it.

This probably happened because I system restored right before getting this problem, but I'm not absolutely sure. I also got this error message just once or twice in the many times I tried to boot:

LogonUI.exe Application Error

The instruction at 0x76b48105 referenced memory at 0x6a4d3e80. The memory could not be read.

Click OK to terminate the program."
I've tried to get into safe mode but the same thing happens.

What I also tried was:

- loading last known good configuration
- using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery partition to restore to a save point from, like, May of 2007 which was the most recent there was, but I think it failed anyways.
- using a repair cd I burned (because "Repair Your Computer" wasn't available in the F8 menu for some reason)

Something that happened once when I selected "Start Windows Normally" was that chkdsk started running checking for consistency, deleted some files, recovered some files, etc. I don't know what that was about but it didn't seem to fix things.

Any help is appreciated. Also feel free to make me redo things I've already tried as I might have done them incorrectly.

sounds like some of your ram might be bad from the error codes you gave,

how much ram do you have in your system?

also do you have more than one stick in it?

you could try to boot from each stick indivually if you have more than one and see which one works or does not work.

Thanks for the reply. :)

I have 1024mb, two sticks. I'll try that, then. Thank you.

EDIT: Just kidding, I meant to say 2048.

EDIT2: It didn't work but thanks for the suggestion.

This error message means you have disabled or damaged any important system service.It's difficult to say which one -It would be going on Cryptographic Service,DCOM Server Process Luncher,Windows Management Instrumantation or any other (because you can't login even in safe mode).Repair Install is solution but... I saw last time this kind of errors caused by any dangerous virus -If repair install no help or help only for short time and problem will back again I suggest make fresh install
