hacked vista uninstall help

[rsolis2061]

i tried installing a hacked version of windows vista so i could upgrade from a 32bit OS to x64 but the only changes that happened is:
1)a new screen right before the vista startup music screen pops up appeared after i "installed" the hacked version which says "A WORLD WITHOUT RELIGION" over a pic of the NYC skyline. it is there for maybe 30 seconds then dissapears and the computer starts normally
2) i am no longer able to sleep/hibernate my laptop. If i try, it turns on but i get a blank screen so i have to either pull the battery out or hard reset in order to get my laptop working again. vista, or at least on my laptop, isnt the quickest to start up so having to do this everytime i use my laptop is extremly annoying

i have no clue what to do or how to take it off. Can someone please help?

well for starters you should have never tried this method. microsoft will send you 64 bit disc for small fee if you have the ultimate version. trying that was very stupid on your part. i would format the hard drive and do a clean install to get rid of that copy you tried, you more than likely are loaded with trojans and other forms of malware. what version of vista is the 32 bit?

that's the trade-off when using illegit software...

yeah it was pretty stupid of me.. i guess i just got a little too fond of bittorrent because the music/movie torrents have always worked fine, ive never gotten a trojan or virus off of them, so i thought the hacked 0S would work fine as well.
what do you mean by formatting the hard drive? how would i do it?
and also i dont have a win vista cd so how could i run the clean install?
i am running windows vista home premium 32bit

well if you do not have a full disc for reinstall you more than likely have a restore DVD correct? i would put that in and do a restore to factory settings. that should fix it

Well to uninstall you will have to get the Windows Vista ISO from online or somewhere that is the original copy. And I know how to get rid of the World without... You have to go to RUN ---> msconfig. Then go to BOOT ---> No GUI Boot and uncheck that. It should get rid of it. I got it once and I went online and found this.
