My laptop,running vista home premium,when i start up goes to start up repair,but cannot repair a problem auto,ps dont know what problem is,so tried start in f8 but still does same start up repair with no joy! HELP.

Did you do ALL your windows update before the Service Pack? That SP has been out for years? Doesn't your laptop have Windows Updates set to Auto? Choose one or the other, Vista or Win 7 and do a Full Install.

It may not be compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium.

hello, it nice inheriting from Grandma, well i will tell you to reinstall a clean version of windows vista on the laptop so that you can make use of it since you dont know the password.

Just boot your vista setup dvd and select repair option from the setup menu .... your problem will be solved... dont have to worry its just corrupt in your logon files its easy to recover.

you can use another vista disk (can you borrow someones?) and have it in when you turn it on. press 'any key' when asked to, load up windows setup and then when it has finished loading choose repair/diagnose and select your copy of windows. You get an option in here to detect and repair starup problems, you can also use this to install a fresh copy of windows if that doesnt fix your problem, be careful not to install over the top of what you have already if you dont want to loose things.

you need to bear in mind that you need to have a CD key for the version of windows that you are installing, the vista home premium key on the bottom of your laptop is no good if you have borrowed a home premium CD for example, you dont need a key to run the diag tools though

I have seen issues like this before , certain chipsets/drivers of wireless cards and routers just dont like each other.

We know your wireless card works just as we know your router works. Trick is to get them to play nice together. Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to do this, you will have to try different driver and firmware combos until you find one that works.

You can get dlink updates here

And you can try these drivers here.

One other thing you can try before messing around with drivers and firmware is changing the application you use for wireless. The default for your setup is probably Intel Proset. Try using the native Vista wireless manager and see if that does anything. to access that go to start , run , type in services.msc, scroll down to WLAN auto config. Double click on it and then click on start. If you still cant see your router, its time to start trying drivers and firmware.

Sony Vaio is one of the most unreliable laptops known to man, and some known to monkeys. My suggestion- save everything you want on cds/dvds and reload whendoze. After that, send it back to Sony if you can.
