This makes it impossible to download anything at all leave alone to start a programme. Even if I run it in safe mode it unevitably locks everything down as soon as I try to run any programme within windows safe mode. Restoring the HDD is possible via the DOS prompt but when I reach the restore mode I get the reply "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." "No changes has been made in the computer." Nothing is found searching in regedit mode. Will an installation of Win 7 replacing the present Vista solve the problem? I have tried to restore back to an earlier point of restore and everything seems to work and no errormessages until I try to reboot the computer same thing, locks completely and does not open Windows at all. The final drastic option seems to be DOS prompt and format C: and reinstalling everything again. This is all nice but how do I cope with a computer that does not even start.
