Re: Repair install?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Thank you, but I did try that. It was one of the instructions in the KB
article. IE does not work in real mode without add ons either. It's really
messed up.

Hi,

Click start and type 'internet explorer'. One of the menu options will be
to load the browser without addons. Try this mode. If it works, then what
you need to do is disable the addons that are loading with IE under
tools/options/programs/manage addons. One of them is interfering, keep
disabling a few at a time until it works correctly.

Hello,

My problem lies with IE. I get this "page can not be displayed". This
after some infections with parasites.
I followed the instructions in the Microsoft KB article. Strange thing
is, it does work in safe mode with
networking. I did turn off all third party services but in real mode,
still no browsing. I can ping the router,
however. Other computers have no problem. Also, I can't get msconfig
either, only in safe mode.
So things are seriously messed up. All I have to work with is the
recovery partition, no Vista disk.
So the last resort in the article is to reinstall. System restore did not
work, either.

Hi Sirius--

It would help to say what your problem is, but I imagine you can't boot
or feel there is so much wrong with you OS that you need to fix it in
some way. There may be ways to fix your OS but until you tell us we
can't be specific and you may not need a repair install.

You can do a repair install as in XP ***if you are in Windows Vista.

If you can't boot, I'd suggest

1) Try startup repair
2) Try F8 to the Adv Options menu and try system restore from all safe
modes or try LKG if those don't work.
3) Try using the bootrec.exe command switches:

Bootrec.exe /fixboot
Bootrec.exe /fixmbr
Bootrec.exe /scanos
Bootrec.exe //RebuildBcd

Good luck, CH

Hello,

Does Vista give the "Repair install" option like XP does?
I am not able to find it, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you.
