ComboFix stuck
Again I have to use another computer to try to get help:
ComboFix ended up with a kind of log file, which was shown onto the desktop background without anything else than the log file shown onto the empty desktop. I closed the log and saw only the empty desktop. I could not do anything else than switching off the computer and on again.
I chose for reboot in safe mode, without internet connection.
The result is a list of loaded Windows files, and underneath:
Please wait...
Then, nothing happens anymore...

Black screen
I tried a normal boot by switching off and on again, becase Ctrl-Alt-Del didn't work. The normal boot resulted in the green progress running startup screen and then a black screen with a normal cursor that can be moved bij the mouse. After some time the standard screen saver by Vista is shown, with three coming and going komets and then the Windows Vista emblem. Much disk activity, that after an hour and longer gets less active. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work.
I tried again the safe boot method, but this didn't work either: Loading files and Please wait...

Advanced Boot Options
Hi Robybel,
Following your description I can land at Advanced Boot Options, but then I have only the following options, but not "Repair your computer":
Safe mode
Safe Mode with Networkork
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable Low Resulution Video
Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)
Directory Services Restore Mode
Debugging Mode
Disable Automatic Restart on sytem failure
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
Start Windows Normally
What should I choose now?
-
Windows installation disk
If I understand well, I can choose from either Advanced Boot Options, or by using Windows installation disk.
I tried also this second option, but I got exactly the same list of options, but no "Repair your computer".
I also cut that off as well, and hope for a new post from you.
TIA

Repair your computer
Hi Robybel,
I'll do that, but as described, I don't get the option Repair your computer, which cannot be found in the list that I get, as I reported.
