Unhappy Error STOP: c0000142
Help!
We recently moved house and I disconnected the computer, and now I get this error when i try to boot.
Stop: c0000142 {DLL Initialization failed} Initialization of the dynamic link library winsrv failed. The process is terminating abnormally

There was a windows update that morning, and now i'm thinking it could have been restarting when i disconnected it, without realising!!

I have no discs with computer. Vista was preloaded! There are lots of files i need on the computer. can anyone help, please

Hi go here and download this http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/window...disc-download/
burn to disc use imgburn http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download then boot from the disc you may need to change the boot order in your bios try tapping F2 on boot and set the cd\dvd drive as first boot device,then boot from the disc and run a repair http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial148.html
