I stupidly installed Alcohol 120 percent in Vista and now every time Windows
loads, it automatically tries to install the incompatible driver and gives
me BSOD. I can't get into the registry to stop the installation process
quickly enough after my desktop comes up. Is there anything I can do to
stop this installation routine? Safe mode doesn't help here, either.

System restore was turned off so that isn't an option. Any advice is much
appreciated.

F8 on Boot -> Last known good config.
F8 on Boot > disable driver-signing check ( only in x86vista I think )

Boot via DVD and choose not install, but "repair options" - fix boot trouble
and so forth.

If all is not helping you will have to format / reinstall.

No virtual drive - Software is working in Vista ! No Alcohol/no Daemon Tools
etc..

Also certain Nero Versions do fail because of Nero Image Drive.

Thanks for the help. Looks like a re-install is necessary....

Given this issue, it would in retrospect be nice if MS could give an option
to control the startup loading of non-essential device drivers/applications
for just such an occasion. This is something they could add to the menu on
the boot disc recovery options fairly easily, I would imagine. I remember
years ago they made that possible to a certain extent with Win 98 et. al.
