I need Massive Help. I have a Dell with Winddows Vista. I think I have a bug. When I boot up My lap stalls saying it's configuring updates it's stuck on Stage 3 of 3 with 0% complete it will do this for 5-8 minutes shut down and re-do it again. A friend once instructed me upon boot-up there are certain Commands I can enter to get me into the system to select a Recovery Date. I CANNOT ACCESS LOGIN OR THE START MENU. I have F-1 to use Safe Mode, same thing and F-2 to change the system internally. NOTHING. Someone Help, PLEASE! Thanks!

I tried that, It gives me the options to repair the old Vista I have in my system or the new windows vista I installed. I wouldn't have that hard of a time using the new one I installed and losing all of my files *Tear*, But the new one will not Identify my wireless card. I usually could pick up a signal. Now It just provides me the option of DSL when I try and look up a Internet Connection. HELP, PLEASE!

Thanks, These Sites are helpful for Backup Drivers. Do you know if my wireless card was fried due to the virus. If I go through Network Connections in the new downloaded Vista I only have the Ability for DSL connect. Before I automatically picked up a Wifi Signal. Now I can't. Any recommendations?
