1.	Solve : Hangs on Windows Vista Please Wait Screen?
Answer» Hello guys, hopefully one of you can help me. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit Laptop that I was playing a movie on when it shut down. Now if I boot it into windows I can only get to the Please Wait screen. I have waited for an HOUR and it will not go away. I can boot into safe mode and I tried restoring the computer to over a month ago but the problem was not solved. I have a boot log attached. If you could help me with this that would be great. I also did a MD5 check sum of the drivers directory on a working system and this one and the results are also attached. [attachment deleted by admin]Do you have the Windows Vista DVD?
