Hope someone can help me out here!
Mother-in-law got a new pc with windows vista, and I went out to set it up, but when it was booting up it lost power (breaker blew or something) Now it keeps coming up with a box saying the computer was shut down unexpectedly and to click OK to reboot & restart the install. Problem is that after I reboot the same message keeps popping up. I never even got a chance to create a rescue disc as the problem occured the very first time I went to boot up. Anyone have any ideas I can try to get it to install vista? Of course the computer is an Acer & didn't come with a windows disc... Thanks in advance! --------------------  |

from things that I have read on the net,it sounds like the system has crashed,due to it thinking you are trying to tamper with it.....(its the new built in security feature)......this has happened afew times according to a report issued by a consumer firm...the only ways round it ,is to install either XP (but then you wont beable to upgrade it,or to send it back to microsoft ,who will redo the install ,but will charge you for it...
Hope this helps.. Sorry its not what you want to hear. -------------------- |
