Despite being a feature-packed operating system, Windows Vista essentially runs into problems at times. This means that you will remain stuck unless you repair Windows Vista. To help you get rid of such problems, Windows Vista has a built-in system repair utility. Follow the steps given below and repair your Windows Vista computer:
1. Before you begin, make sure that you have the original Windows Vista setup disk. If Windows Vista came preinstalled with your PC, then you must have a mirror image of it on your hard drive.
2. Remove all the peripherals attached to your Vista PC like router, printer etc. Insert the installation disk in the CD\DVD-ROM drive and boot your PC. When prompted, press a key (any key) on the keyboard to initialize the process. Wait while Windows loads your files, settings etc.

It is also a part of the normal course, so don’t be worried and exit the box by clicking Cancel.

You can choose either one to proceed. You can choose from System Restore, Windows Complete PC Restore, Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, and Command Prompt utilities.
