Answer» I was working on a friends LAPTOP that has VISTA on it.
I wanted to start in safe mode but I somehow messed it up by pushing and holding f9 one TIME, f11 another. Now when it boots it just says windows, and shows a line going across like it is processing, and won't go farther!
Any ideas on what I can do to get it to boot up?Do you have the Vista installation Disc or recovery media to repair the installation?No, I did not have the disc, and was not at my friends house to see if he had one. I did not get a response, so with much searching on the internet I found a suggestion to take the battery out of the CMOS slot, wait about 5 minutes and put it back in. When I started it up, it gave me the option of a recovery, or a restore. Since I'd done a manual restore before starting to work on this computer, I chose that. It worked!GOOD to hear that the other recovery method worked.
