Okay, all day I've been trying to sort this out but to no avail. I've searched Google like crazy, and whilst I've found that others have had this issue there's been no real resolution.
My system boots all the way up to the point of the loading bar, then it goes blue screen and restarts. I've found that it loads up in safe mode, and I can access all my drives (I've tried unplugging external devices), and I'm 99% certain that running a system restore would fix the issue. HOWEVER, safe mode revokes me of all rights to perform any system based tasks, so obviously it won't allow me to run system restore, regedit, pretty much anything.
Here's what I've tried so far:
-Running system repair through a boot disk, it didn't find anything wrong
-I tried running system restore through the boot disk but apparently there weren't any restore files (which isn't true)
I have no idea how this happened, I'm guessing a registry file's been affected or something. Every time I try to run System Restore through safe mode it gives me the following message 'System Restore had been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain administrator'
It's not UAC because I've disabled that, but I think if I can get around the group policy I can run it. I tried running gpedit.msc and gpmc.msc from the start menu search but they wouldn't open.
Please, please, please help, I really can't re-install Vista because I don't wanna go through the process of re-installing all my programs.
