Assuming you can boot to 'normal' mode:

on that page the Vista directions are at the bottom of the page.

i know how to get into there but it reboots whenever i try

My thinking was the force boot rather than F8 may have worked.

But it does boot properly in normal mode correct? Check the Event Viewer for a clue as to the problem.

Force boot doesnt work either....In event viewer all it says was the system shut down unexpectadly(or whoever u spell it)......

Is the 'puter a desktop or laptop? If a desktop are you using a usb keyboard?

Have you installed any programs recently? Do you run a 3rd party firewall?
