Vista boot problem on Dell laptop

[zoradaly]

Hi all,

My dell laptop is playing up a bit. Its running Vista as an OS. It boots ok, gets to the windows loading bar fine aswell, but after the loading bar stops a

command prompt box pops up with ( C:windows\system32). Im guessing that windows cannot find the system 32 folder and is asking me to point it in the right

direction? I have tried a system repair using the DVD but this didnt seem to work

any other suggestions?

thanks in advance

i was given to believe you were shown a command line. post a picture(video will be better) of the screen when this happens (use a camera)

this can fixed in Recovery console and replace the missing file. you may also use repair reinstall.
