Just choose start windows normally. It just brings these options up if windows doens't stat up properly. Will all be ok after that. Start windows normally is the default so just hit enter.

Subject: [access-uk] Vista start up problem

I am afraid that I have made a bad start to the New Year - now I cannot get my main (Vista)
machine to boot up at all.

I know what caused the problem. I had connected a USB floppy drive to check what was on some old floppies, and absent mindedly re-booted the machine with a floppy still in the drive. I realised my mistake and rapidly removed the disk, but too late! Windows must have been
trying to boot from it and as a result seems to have been damaged.

When I try to boot now I am told that I am being given the choice of Launching Start Up repair or "Start Windows Normally" - the former is highlighted and marked Recommended.

I am tempted to try first highlighting the start Windows normally and see what happens, but I
am a little out of my depth here.

Any advice from an expert would be much appreciated.

Douglas
