Quite a large problem.

A few weeks ago, my computer began to experience regular Blue Screens. I generally ignored this, simply rebooting the computer. These were probably triggered by me plugging in a new kind of mouse.

Anyways, after a while, I ended up getting a rather severe error. The blue screen identified some sort of error with ntfs.sys, the exact details of which I wasn't quick enough to write down. Upon reboot, I had to launch start-up recovery. Using a System Restore point, I was able to dig myself out of trouble.

However, a week or so later, I experienced the same problem, with the same solution...and then, a few days after that, same problem, same solution. I'm sure you get the gist of where I'm going. Now, I'm stuck with a computer that won't boot, without a restore point. I've tried memory diagnostics, chkdsks, and multiple Startup Repairs, but nothing has worked.

If it matters, I'm running Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP0, on a Toshiba Satellite A200.

Any ideas?

Was it perhaps a wireless mouse? SOME wireless drivers for key/mouse don't seem to agree with Vista. I was using..err TRIED using a Belkin and it froze up almost immediately. When I uninstalled the drivers, and switched devices all was well again.
But I bought a diff brand ( Logitech) and have had no issues since.

Even if the previous solutions work again.. I will tell you that problem may happen again.. there are bootable cds through which this can be sorted.. but here I rather recommand you to remove the hard drive.. connect it externally to another pc and backup your data.. then do a complete windows reinstall
