Using Startup Repair in Windows  Vista 

Introduction to the Start Up Repair Utility 

Start Up Repair is a recovery tool built into Windows Vista. This tool helps fix problems such as corrupt and missing files that may hamper with the Windows start up process and prevent your system from booting up correctly. The Start Repair tool scans your PC for such issues and then attempts to fix the errors it detects to restore your system to its normal working condition.  

Steps to Run the Startup Repair Utility 

The Start Up Repair utility may either come preinstalled on your PC or you may need to run it from your Windows Vista Installation disk. Let’s see how to use the utility in both the cases. 

Perform the following steps if Start Up Repair is already installed on your system: 

1.      Remove all external media, such as Floppies, CDs and DVDs and restart your PC.  

2.      When the PC restarts, if required, choose the operating system you want to repair.  

3.      Press the F8 key.  

4.      On the Advanced Boot Options screen that is displayed, scroll down using the arrow keys, select the Repair your computer option and then press Enter—this option is available only if Start-up repair is already installed on your computer. 

5.      Select the layout of your keyboard when prompted and then click Next. 

6.      Select your user name, provide its password, and then press Enter. 

7.      On the displayed System Recovery Options menu, click Start Up Repair.  

8.      Select the options you want to repair and start the repair process.  

If Start Up Repair is not installed on your PC, perform the following steps to launch it using the Windows Vista installation disk: 

1.      Boot your Windows Vista PC by using the Windows Vista Installation Disk. 

2.      Choose appropriate language settings and then click OK. 

3.      If required, select the operating system you want to repair and then click Next.  

4.      On the displayed System Recovery Options menu, click Start Up Repair.  

5.      Select the options you want to repair and start the repair process.  

After Windows startup repair is initiated, your system may need to restart a few times, before the fixes are complete.  

Although useful, Start Up repair has its own drawbacks. You cannot use the tool to resolve hardware failures and malware infections. Also, you cannot use it to recover your personal files. This is the reason why, you need to be a vigilant user and perform the following tasks to keep your PC secure and healthy: 

·         Always use effective virus and spyware scanner tools to regularly scan your PC and to protect it from any type of malware infection. To ensure that these tools are ready to combat the latest malware, you should update them on regular basis.  

·         Repair registry problems by scanning the registry on regular basis—a good way of doing this is with the help of a good registry repair tool which can perform this task automatically. Many start-up issues may occur due to problems within the Windows registry. Regular registry clean up helps to prevent and more often repair these issues.  

·         Use backup utilities to create a backup of your personal data to ensure that you can retrieve your data easily, in the event your PC fails.  

·         Avoid downloading and installing software from unsolicited Web sites. These Web sites may secretly install spyware and adware on your computer which can cause havoc. 

Windows Vista Start Up Repair is a reasonably efficient utility that helps you repair several PC problems. However, you also need to be an alert and vigilant computer user. You should not perform any task that can potentially harm your system. It is also recommended that you have a mechanism by which you can automatically protect your computer from harmful software and the same mean by which you can resolve the many types of errors that can occur within the computer registry, which we all know can cause a lot of grief.
