    Startup Repair


    Hey guys.
    I'm sorry if this is a problem you've had to answer several times before but I have looked at solutions here and had no luck so far.

    The screen on my laptop broke a few weeks ago and I only got a new one today. I put it in without a problem but whenever I start it, it goes straight into Startup Repair, so I'm not fully sure what I did to start this...
    I've tried starting in safe mode, no joy. I tried booting from a Windows 7 CD and changed the bios to start with CDs first, but it doesn't seem to be working.

    I'm not sure what exactly is causing it to start with Startup Recovery, but I do know when I ask it for a diagnosis, it says "This operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair". I started on Vista and upgraded to Windows 7.

    Has anyone got any ideas on what to do?
    Thanks for any help I get...

    You can launch a start-up repair from the 7 install disc. Boot from the disc. Select Repair my Computer. It will look for problems, then it will come to screen where you can select to do a startup repair. If it does not fix your problem the first time, you may need to do it as many as three times, with reboots inbetween.

Firstly, thanks for reading. My PC runs Windows 7 x64. I built it myself about a year ago for gaming. Occasionally running games I would BSOD and it would suck. I'd update all my drivers or try some game-specific fix and usually if I didn't fix it, I would just start playing something else...
