Hello Ron,
Sorry, but a repair install would not work at boot or in Safe Mode. It can only be done from within Windows since it's basically just an in-place upgrade to the same edition. ![]() |

On normal boot it enters recovery environment startup repair. Only thing that works is booting in safe mode. Booting to safe mode is as far as I know, just a minimal normal mode. It uses the standard VGA-driver and only a few services are started. What extra services do I need to start to be able to do a repair install? I did already try a Clean Startup by disabling all startup items and NON microsoft services by using msconfig. |

Ron,
If it was able to boot when you did a clean startup, then it should be a matter of enabling each startup item one at a time to find the culprit causing it to not startup properly. You may be able to do a repair install from within a clean startup since it's still technically in Windows and not Safe Mode. |

You may be able to do a repair install from within a clean startup since it's still technically in Windows and not Safe Mode. How can I simulate safe mode in normal mode? I mean what do I have to disable so it's actually the same? Afterwards i can try a repair install (in place upgrade). Or can I simply boot to safe mode and then start the services needed to do the repair install? I'm not at his house (50miles away) otherwise I just tried it myself |

Could be video drivers then. While in Safe Mode, uninstall the video drivers, then install a version that was know to work to see if that may help.

This procedure is great if the user can actually login to Windows; however, often times the repair is required because Windows will not load and the login screen is not available.

After Win7 Repair Install & Office 2007 fresh install; no permissions! I had a run-in with MS Office 2007 that ended up (my bad I'm sure) necessitating a repair install of Windows 7 (64 bit) after a complete uninstall of Office. The Windows repair went well with the exception of a couple of drivers; easily adjusted. Then I did a clean install of Office 2007. It... |
