hit the f8 button as soon as you start the computer until you see a boot menu. One of the options will be to repair the computer - then select system restore and go back to before you had this blue screen issue.

looks like its not reading the system registry in the system 32 folder - I would assume this is for one of 3 reasons. 1 - virus corrupted system32. 2 - computer cant read system 32 due to file system corruption. 3 - hard drive is dying and computer cant read those sectors.
first thing to try is get a windows dvd that goes with your os - if you have windows home premium 64bit get that etc. then boot from the cd, select repair this computer and then try system restore - if that doesn't work try running a checkdisk.

probably 3. I ran malware bytes on safe mode recently with no viruses. I have Vista basic and windows 7 premium but whatever i do i can't get the computer to boot from cd. Is checkdisk in system diagnostics : start up test ol, run in test or hard disk test? Update. I tried hd test and it failed

Do you have any importnat info on the computer. If you do - bring it over i'll take care of it. If you dont - are you still under warranty? get hp to replace the hard drive. Otherwise buy a new hard drive and reinstall windows etc.

Your very kind but your forget that i live in Florida

When i was reinstalling vista about a year ago i remember i had the same problem that it wouldn't boot from cd and the rep from hp told me to do a few steps which i can't remember but eventually i was able to jump it into boot from disc. Any ideas? Thanks so much btw!

Got it! Its booting up windows 7!!

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #72 on:** September 09, 2012, 09:49:10 PM »

ok that's great however you still have the initial problem - and it will fail completely soon so be smart and back up completely right now

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #73 on:** September 09, 2012, 09:51:59 PM »

when a hard drive fails the quick test it has enough damage to be detected immediately -it didn't even run the full media test and failed

yossi4k · « **Reply #74 on:** September 09, 2012, 09:53:28 PM »

Right. So i chose to install windows and not repair..was that a mistake? I didn't think you can repair vista with 7...

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #75 on:** September 09, 2012, 09:57:31 PM »

your missing the point - this is a physical issue with your computer! If you don't replace your hard drive its gonna die completely this isn't a windows issue

yossi4k · « **Reply #76 on:** September 09, 2012, 10:02:15 PM »

Nachon. So when you say back it up that means back up my personal files or windows itself?

DH Data Recovery · « **Reply #77 on:** September 09, 2012, 10:03:23 PM »

copy all your important data to an external drive

yossi4k · « **Reply #78 on:** September 09, 2012, 10:07:03 PM »

I don't have anything important. So i tried system restore from the DVD but it couldn't find a restore point. So I'm running windows 7 now and let's hope it'll last till rabeinu find another awesome pc deal;) !

I am still running windows 7. The only issue i seem to be having is that the screen will freeze, go black and recover with the following message:" Display driver stopped responding and has recovered: Display driver Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows Vista(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." It would be appear to me that this is happening as its using the old Vista graphics driver. Do I just need to download the windows 7 driver here and it'll stop crashing?
