    Using a Notebook or Netbook on your lap, is the cause of overheating, which is the main reason of the problems you have now.

    Boot up using the Startup disk CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, needs to be on USB Pendrive.

    Do a Strartup Repair:
    Startup Repair
    Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
    Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times

    Your Windows installation must show at this screen.

    If not showing check out the list below.
    1) Run Startup Repair once,(drive may be marked inactive) this will mark the drive ACTIVE.

    adamned,

    I'm going to repeat the advice from GregRocker.

    Go thru that advice, step-by-step, and let us know the results.

    [QUOTE]
    Tap F8 at reboot to see if you have Repair Console on Advanced Boot Tools menu. If so boot in to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate time with reboots to see if you can Repair Windows 7.

    If not on F8, create a System REpair CD on another Windows 7 machine with same bit-rate in Backup Center. Boot it to do the Repairs at least 3 times, which should automate System Restore - but try it manually anyway if necessary.

    You can copy out your files Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console then find any Windows 7 retail installer, unlock all versions if necessary, to reinstall clean Windows 7 using these steps to get a perfect reinstall: Reinstalling Windows 7
    /QUOTE]

    I assume you have a 32-bit system, thus if you need to make a System Repair Disc, go to another 32 bit machine and follow this procedure:

    DISC - CREATE A SYSTEM REPAIR DISC
    START | type System Repair | Enter key | Create Disc button
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Now you have two alternatives:
    1. put the System Repair Disc onto a USB stick,
    2. buy an external USB DVD/CD unit.

    The second choice has the advantage that then you have an easy, viable alternative anytime you want to install software that comes on a CD and also an easy way to burn ISO files to a cd/dvd.

    Let us know which approach you want to follow if you can not get the system repaired without a system repair disc.

    Sounds like you may need to reinstall or update your Display driver. Download and install from the manufacturer's Support Downloads webpage for your model PC or display device.

    The driver may also come in on Windows Updates under Optional updates when you enable Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware.
    So if you can I would do all of my Updates to completion before importing any drivers which are missing in Device Manager.

    However be aware that the factory preinstalled image is an grossly inferior install which compromises native Win7 in many ways. You'd be much better off following these steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
