Windows Vista Ultimate will not boot

Hi,

I have Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate edition, the laptop was working fine
before I shut it down. Now when I power it up, it starts and I see the
Microsoft Corportion logo with the progress bar going, after that the machine
just sitts with black screen. I tried booting with safe mode, Last known
good, Low resolution....and I got the same problem. I have not installed any
thing on the laptop prior to shutting it down. have anyone seen this?

Thanks,

Re: Windows Vista Ultimate will not boot

I have tried almost all the options except "Complete PC Restore" and nothing
worked prior to posting my question, so I was hoping if anyone got some new
tricks that I am not aware of...
