    Hello Sdraza, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Before doing anything else, be sure find and write down your product key number somewhere safe.

    If this is a OEM (ex: Dell, Gateway, etc....) store bought computer and not a home built computer, then they will usually have a system recovery partition on HDD that is used to do a factory restore of Vista with.

    What is the brand and model number of your computer, and if it's laptop or desktop? We may be able to help find and post the instructions for how to for your computer.

    When you bought the generic computer, did the seller say that Vista Business OS was legit?
    Have you made any recovery disks?

    He didn't tell me whether it was legit or not, I have made recovery disk and sometimes can boot from it but it solves the problem only temporarily. Whenever I install anything it again stops booting.

    Download CKScanner by askey127 from HERE
    Important - Save it to your desktop.
    Right click CKScanner.exe, choose to run as Administrator, and click Search For Files.
    After a very short time, when the cursor hourglass disappears, click Save List To File.
    A message box will verify the file saved.
    Double-click the CKFiles.txt icon on your desktop and copy/paste the contents in your next reply.

    Okay ... Please download WVCheck from Artellos.com.

    • Double click WVCheck.exe. (If you downloaded the zipped version you will need to extract it.)
    • As indicated by the prompt, This program can take a while depending on your hard drive space.
    • Once the program is done, copy the contents of the notepad file as a reply.
