Problem with Laptop HELP!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I came home turned my laptop on, took some time to load up, usually doesnt. windows update wanted me to install some stuff, i only downloaded the important not optional. After It says you need to restart so i did. When i came on usually where it says 'welcome' it said, 1 of 3, then 2 of 3, now its at 3 of 3 0%. It Just stays like that then about 10 mins later it turns off then back on, 3 of 3 0%. 

 

Im running Vista 2gb ram, compaq, 128gb hdd. 

 

I've tried everything, from last known good configuration, to restore to earlier point in time. i tried safe mode, still  3 of 3 thing comes on. I could just wipe the laptop, but i have important files on it and i cant see how to get them.

HELP PLZ

Try finding a Vista disk, boot it up and go into System Repair/Command Prompt

. locate windows/winsxs
. del pending.xml

Save and restart. Back up your data, perform a clean install. Good luck

cheers ...
