| 865763 | 2010-03-11 00:23:00 | This guy had the same BSOD (forums.whirlpool.net.au) the videocard was stuffed. Or it maybe an update that made it crash. Here's another (forums.explosm.net). Were there any virtual cd / dvd programs on it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 865764 | 2010-03-11 00:44:00 | there was but i've resolved the bsod problem and the mouse now has issues, both were/ are software related | williamF (115) | ||
| 865765 | 2010-03-11 01:38:00 | So did you boot from A linux CD like I suggested in Post 9 -- this should tell you if its a hardware or software problem. If its software - best solution, reinstall Windows -- Easy. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 865766 | 2010-03-11 01:42:00 | didnt have a live CD but i did have a bootable dos CD with mouse drivers, the mouse worked in there reinstalling is not an option as i 1. dont have a disk and the laptop was preinstalled 2. i got rid of the recovery partition nearly a year ago |

| 865767 | 2010-03-11 01:55:00 | Well you may have to borrow one to reinstall it, using the COA on the back of the laptop. If the OS is toast, then no amount of fixing will repair it. Often in this game you learn fast that you can muck about for days, getting nowhere, and end up reinstalling. but you can try -- Click start / type in CMD Right click cmd / run as administrator, type in chkdsk /r agree to run chkdsk on next reboot, reboot let it run. If that doesn't work do the same, but this time type in sfc /scannow - see if it fixes the files. If not - refer to line one above. |

| 865769 | 2010-03-11 03:08:00 | Call MS and explain you need to reinstall Vista, but the COA is unreadable, there are other codes on the COA that they can cross reference, they may help, or simply say buy a copy. OR Buy another replacement set of restore dvd's from Laptop Manufacture. Removing the Recovery partition is not the brightest of Ideas, especially if a person doesn't have any other way to reinstall the OS when it needs it. While its easy enough to get the COA from the existing PC/Laptop, and it will install, it wont activate, as it will be a Manufactures COA thats on thousands of other Laptops as well. How did you manage to fade a COA in less than a year ? on my laptop its still clear after 7 years. One thing you can also try, use free Revo Uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com) - remove the touchpad Drivers - then try reinstalling them again. |

| 865770 | 2010-03-11 06:10:00 | oh *** im not spending hundreds just to fix my mouse, i guess i'll be using mouse keys for a while then unless there is a way of repairing without a disk or finding out why its not loading the mouse driver |

| 865771 | 2010-03-11 06:31:00 | and if its un-readably faded? You can recover your product key by using a program such as "magical jellybean keyfinder" Then all you need is something to reinstall Windows from (no worries borrowing a CD, remember it's only the key that really matters) Have you tried removing all mouse\touchpad related entries in device manager and rebooting? or System Restore? |

| 865772 | 2010-03-11 06:37:00 | in that case is someone willing to lend me a disk? i can pay for the postage. also i disabled system restore quite a while before this happened hence the posts tried reinstalling and uninstalling many mouse drivers and it doesnt work with an external mouse either |
