I surfed here and came across someone with the exact same issue as mine When I boot, I get a "Windows Error Recovery" screen with options to "Repair your computer" or start normally, last known config, etc. Initially, I was able to go to the logon screen. Typed my password, then the welcome message would take longer than usual, then go to this black screen with a cursor.

I restarted several times to no avail. If I choose "start normally", it reboots and comes back to the windows error recovery screen.

If I choose "last know configuration", it reboots and again, comes back to the windows error recovery screen. I then did the built in Dell diagnostic testing. Nothing came up wrong. Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Hi-I hope some kind person can please help me with my rather urgent dilemna?!

I Went to turn on my Laptop and it would not boot. I am at a loss with this, i didn't do anything unusual to the laptop before I shut it down, it just decided the registry was corrupt. I also had a backup made on my external HDD but booting from this does exactly the same goes straight into system repair Surely I can recover my OS somehow, without losing all my data???

Any help with this would be seriously appreciated!! Remove From My Forums. Asked by:. Archived Forums. Windows Vista Hardware. Sign in to vote. My computer is not working properly and i'm not sure what to do to fix the problem.

I get different error screens like 0xc and they all have to do with the registry. I try looking for a solution online but nothing helps. I also try installing windows update but I get errors on that too.
