Vista - ntoskrn1.exe

I have the Sony VAIO VGN NR260E.
When booting up my lap top an error shows that windons failed to start a
recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

I have not installed any new software or hardware on my LT. Now it is
asking for a file ntoskrn1.exe status 0xc0000098
windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt.

Any help would be great. I do not have a windows vista disc as it was all
preloaded when I brought the LT in March 2008

Gary,

Did you fix your problem? I too have a Sony VAIO which has, today, displayed the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello guys,

If you fix your problem please tell me. I have same problem

Managed to resolve problem by quitting (ESC) pressing F10 and ENTER.

This then eventually took me to a restore point option screen from where I selected my last good restore point.

Thanks and Regards, Jamal Kilo
