My Vista Won't Work!!

Jasmen156 · Jul 11, 2010

1- I turn on my laptop
2- It says "Windows is loading files"
3- Then It goes to a black screen with a startup repair box. ( It says "Windows is checking for Problems" then it finishes checking for problems)
4- Then it goes to another box that says " Windows cannot repair this computer automatically."
5- Then it says " If you recently put any device in ur computer, take it out, and restart it again, if you continue to come to this screen contact the admin or the manufacturer.
6- There is view advanced options for system recovery and support. I click that, and then I go to a different screen, that says " choose a recovery tool."
7- Then I get 6 options (startup repair [which doesn't work] , system restore [which doesn't work either], Windows complete PC Restore[ doesn't work], Windows Diagnostic Repair [doesn't work],
command prompt, and Toshiba recovery wizard[ which I am scared to use].
Thats all the options ^
Now what?????

I do not have any discs or anything, if i need to have something please tell me were i can get it, and how to work, and if you have my manufaturs phone that'd be great. mine is a satellite L505-S5966 system unit

Try to boot, during the boot process quickly and repeatedly hit f8, can you get to safe mode?

Hello Jasmen156, welcome to Vista Forums.

The "Toshiba recovery wizard" is an option added by the manufacturer that may be able to recover/return the PC to a condition like when it was brand new, the down side is it may cause you to lose any stored data you have on the PC but it may have an option to create backups of said data before it goes too far and over-writes the data.
It may be a good way to get the PC running again if other means fail to sort the issue.
