Thread: Windows 7 Startup problem!

  1. #1

    Default Windows 7 Startup problem!

    Hi, hoping someone can help with this. My windows 7 pc keeps freezing on the "starting windows" screen, and i need to do a startup repair using a restore point. But next time exactly the same thing happens. I've done various scans and found nothing. Help!!

    You will need to have your Windows 7 DVD in order to do this repair.
    Just follow the procedure below
    1. Put the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted.
    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
    7. Type Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
    I know someone who had a similar problem, and this worked.
    If it does not work then let us know as soon as possible

    You do not need to pay anybody to do the job, if you do not have the disc then you can download the iso image then burn it to a DVD and do the job yourself.

    When you say pre-installed did you buy it from a retail store or one of the locals

    If you need any advice then just PM me

    Well Done

    What I would suggest is that you now create a system repair disc or Create a system image or even both

    Go into the Control Panel, then from System & Security select Backup your computer. You then have the option to create either of the disc's

    Once you have created the disc(s), keep them in a safe place
