I install 1 program is Alcohol 120 in windows vista. Then i restart the windows, when i start up it has blue screen. I can't use it. Therefore, I can uninstall or do anything. Including in safe mode. I really

keep pressing F8 when you turn the box on. if you cant get into safe mode then jsut use the computers recovery CD and boot with that.

I have had the same problem, but even after trying to boot off the cd/dvd i still get the blue screen!!! I've tried taking the battery out and that didn't help either.

Same problem here. Everything has been working fine, but now on startup get BSOD, tried safe mode and boot from vista dvd but still no good
Any ideas anyone?

Yes, there is a way to fix that. The file that causes the problem is a347bus.sys, located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
This file is the Plug and Play BIOS Extension for Windows Vista.
The solution, half-baked as it is, is to boot off of the Vista installer DVD and go to command prompt, or access the file system in some other way. Rename the a347bus.sys file to something else (a347busbroken.sys in my case) and reboot. The system should now boot, but it will complain now that it has to reinstall drivers and such. Let Vista do its thing there and it should come back up.

In my case, Vista choked at this stage too and could not fix the broken .sys file. The system actually operates without it, but with reduced functionality (some plug-and-play stuff doesn't work) and at this time I can't figure out a way of restoring the original .sys file.

If anyone knows of a way to restore the original .sys file, please do tell..

hold f-10 when start up to repair or recovery

I just had the exact same problem when installing alcohol and after a lot of buts I started vista with the last known working configuration and thus far everything runs smoothly.

I had the same problem with a toshiba tecra laptop.

Try holding 0 on startup to bring up recovery/repair

my idea would be back up all your important stuff, format the disk and go back to xp, the only decently working windows version ever
