aftermath,
It sounds like you got some bad corruption problems there. If you do not only have a recovery Vista DVD or partition, then I would recommend doing a Repair install. This will allow you to repair your Vista installation and keep your user account files, settings, and programs. How To Perform a Repair Installation For Vista Shawn |

Thanks for all your suggestions. My computer locked up in Safe Mode and I was not able to get back to Normal Mode. The only recourse I had was to reimage the hard drive. Everything is now back to normal. Fortunately I had a back-up of all my files. Thanks to all that offered suggestions.

I have tried all of these methods, and none of them have worked. The one that I thought would be best was the last one, it found a lot of errors but then I couldn't use the program. I found however it I attempt to uninstall it the company offers me a trial 30 day activation key. It might be nice to add that, however right now I still have not fixed my corrupt file which happens to be my C: Users / my_name
I have tried doing all methods, and when I tried to do it with my Vista DVD it gave me an error saying the files were unwritable or something and would not allow me to run the chkdsk. Any suggestions? EDIT: The final method actually worked thanks =). I would suggest adding how to get the activation code, because some of us are kinda stupid and don't notice the obvious.

Hi Lothia,
Welcome to Vista Forums. ![]() I'm glad to hear that you resolved your problem. What program are your referring to when you mention uninstall and a 30 day activation key? Shawn |

![]() I've done that (after Vista was crashed all my user folders, and then when it was almost killed my laptop by automated update), no result... what can i do? sometimes vista says on startup, that one more folder is corrupt and unreadable, the only way to repair is to copy that folder from previously saved backup copy, but yesterday i've lost email database - with all passwords etc.... ![]() how can i repair the disk? |
