Solved vista home basic cant manage hardware or run anything with system settings

[Yard Dog]

Another thing to think about is to make another admin account and try to use that and see if you still have issues.

Bother
can you open regedit in Normal Mode?

what's the response to SC QC CRYPTSVC in a Normal Mode, ordinary Command Prompt window?

and no on regedit


also when trying to run windows fix it always said problem with power shell it couldn't close i if i remember right...

 

[NoelDP]

The output looks normal - what happens when you try the NET START CRYPTSVC command the same way?

 

[munion07]

Not sure trying a new user account right now and its at the welcome screen loading. Im going to return a movie and hopefully its done when I return. Not sure how long typical load is on new user accounts.

 

[munion07]

New user account still has not loaded is this normal or should I shut down and continue to use original ?

 

[Yard Dog]

Just takes a minute to make a new account, when you start up, you should get option of which account to use, if new one is not loading right up, go back to the other one. I just tossed making new account in as sometimes a user account can become corrupted .

 

[munion07]

alright, powered off cause new account would not open in normal start-up.

this is what i got on CP normal startup

Go ahead and try this . Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup - Windows 7 Forums . Applies to vista also.

 

[munion07]

clean boot has no effect :/ im starting to lean towards a Microsoft service causing this. would it be safe to disable all the stopped Microsoft services in safe mode and boot normal with them disabled?

i cant open msconfig in with a normal start-up

 

[Yard Dog]

You are going to have to use safe mode til you get it figured out which service needs to be enabled . keep checking them and restarting til you get it figured out. Might be a long process. Black Viper has a guide that shows default settings , If you went into services from the Administrator Tools in Control Panel , and just set them per Black Viper's guide , it might save you time. i am not sure. Black Viper's Website

 

[munion07]

all back to stock settings, not any better. any ideas on what to try next

btw the new admin account works fine in safe mode

 

[NoelDP]

I'm pretty sure that the problem is with thefact that the Cryptsvc is unable to start.
I just don't know why, yet.
Zebedee tells me it's way past my bedtime - so I'll think on it that way and come back in the morning.

 

[munion07]

is it possible that this is a driver issue?

 

[munion07]

Fixed the only driver issue I had. it also made no difference. I had to instal it in diagnostic boot.
Im almost ready to try factory restore but idk how it would work being in a different computer.

 

[Yard Dog]

How much worse could it go ? I would have already tried that.

 

[munion07]

Idk Im going to make a disk with all my drivers since I just got all of them fixed. Im just affraid since its in a 5517 not a 5515 it might not work. But like you said how worse can it get.

 

[munion07]

now after it has been factory reset, when it configuring windows it restarts at a certain point and then say something along the lines of unexpected restart, windows cant configure, please reinstall. tried 4 times now sames results and wont config in safe mode so now what should i attempt?

 

[Yard Dog]

Were you using the recovery console to make a factory default image or did you have disks made already ?
