Vista - Vista missing alot of stuff

I have a hp laptop dv6871us and it had got the blue screen saying registory error or something like that. I went to safe mode to see if it would work and it did. After running programs like ccleaner and malwarebytes the blue screen didnt show up anymore. But the problem is, that alot of thing are all messed up now. For example, the brightness wont go up or down, i'm missing the battery icon (on the device manager it has that little excalmation mark next to it), when i turn on laptop the mouse (not the touchpad) wont work after a couple of minutes, which never use to happen like this. it also wont open some programs like google chrome. I have windows 7 installed also and when i boot into that one, everything works perfectly...

Back up your data and reinstall Vista. The malware you had (and based on
what you wrote, possibly the work you did removing it) has badly damaged the
system. Best to just start over because untangling the errors will be
difficult if not impossible.

Ok i think the registry is messed up. Is there a way i could fix that??? I used drivermax to copy all drivers from windows 7 to vista but it remained the same so im guessing its the registry.

ok

you need to reinstall vista and you need to use a spyware program as well i use spyware terminator it is free and it portects you aginst mailware as well but you have win 7 rc installed as well? right um well if you brought your pc betwwen june 2008 and september 2009 you will get a free win 7 upgrade and from what i hare all you need is your proff of purchase to get the free upgrade but i also herd the upgrade only versions on win 7 are only $50.00 compared the the full versions going for $199.99 to $299.99 i will be glad when october 19th gets here so i can finaly dump this pice of crap os win vista i hate this thing but xp is no better infact xp is now even worse thin vista is but you need to listin to what the girl said and reinstall vista.

Ok yeah thanks, but I was thinking of upgrading vista to 7 and maybe that might fix it, if it doesnt then i can just re-install vista right?

yes of course you can

Alright kool, ill try that, ill let you know if it works. But before i try it. Lets say it works and that means i will have windows 7 installed twice, so would i be able to downgrade back to vista?
