hi team

on my vista OS

an up date arrived called sp1

ok i installed it and now the ba------d

has frozen my compt in dos

with this error number

0xc01a001d

ive googles it on another machine

and i see others have had the same trouble

ive hated this b--------d ever since i bought it

on the sp1 forum

one poster said he got back in by restoring

back to when the compt was going good

i tried to get to safe mode but it goes to a certain point

then freezes

any got any solutions other than reinstall vista

Sounds like you didn't disable your anti-virus or other anti-malware programs before allowing the download and installation of SP1. Try to automatically repair Windows Vista using Startup Repair.

hi TT

i cant get out of dos

every thing i do takes me back to the black screen

it wont read my cd so i cant repair

i can get in with floppys

win 98 and maxtor scanner

so i can delete the sys

but i was trying to save it

when i got this notice for the update

which means ile have to reinstall

my vista disk has so many installs

so ime not sure how many i have left

you say the virus scanner could have caused it

ok ive had just reinstalled avast

to the new version

so maybe that was the cause of the problem

on the forum

coupla other posters have had the same trouble

but didnt say the cause

they blamed the sp1 update

i have never had this trouble before

so ime open to suggestion

thanks for your post

HI

seems microsoft must be aware off this sp1 problem

as i had to reinstall

vista

i couldnt move from the dos screen

so i had to clean my disk with the maxtor

floppy

then reinstall

when i finished reinstalling

microsoft didnt ask for a

validation like they usually do

so i assumed they are aware of this ptoblem

from now on i intend to take TT"S

ADVICE

and select the updates i put on my compt
