The miracle cure...

I'd go for the magic silver bullet - reinstall! I'm surprised how quick Vista reinstall really is!

For weirdo and unexplained problems the reinstall seems to solve a considerable amount of problems.

Good luck!

Before reinstalling try sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt.

 

[dharmil]

yeah i really don't want to reinstall i have a lot of stuff on this computer but i am trying the sfc /scannow..


EDIT: It said "did not find any integrity problems"
EDIT 2: now i am trying to download all the hot fixes from the Microsoft web-site

I had the Catalyst problem once. Restarted the computer, and it worked fine again. I think it was a burp with a different driver install, since that's what led to the restart that caused it.

For what it's worth.

 

[dharmil]

I tried to restart and every thing..

i just reset my setting in the bios for the motherbored but still same problem..


EDIT: Should i update my BIOS.. well i would but i kinda dont know how i have a P5L-MX mother bored from asus.. can any one help

 

[dharmil]

Dharmil.

Instead of doing a complete clean reinstall, you might try doing a Repair Install. This will allow you to repair your Vista installation without loosing your files, settings, and programs. Hopefull, it will solve your problem and save you from doing a clean install.

[dharmil]

so by doing a Repair Install i will not lose any data? That sounds good i am going to try that thanks!

 

[Brink]

Dharmil,

You should not lose any data at all. Just to be safe, I would still backup anything you do want to lose just in case something goes wrong.

[dharmil]

yeah i tried to upgrade by booting from cd but it said do it when logged in to windows.. so i am doing it.. it really takes long it says it will take hours but thanks a lot brink.

 

[dharmil]

it got to the last steps and it failed i got a message saying some thing i forgot but yeah it failed..

[Brink]
