I get this now. just happened after downloading Hitman Pro after my free trial expired and then attempting reboot.

Not sure if this is related to that. When I try CTRL+ALT+DEL , I just get the same message.

so how do I reboot?(no, I no longer have the boot disk or program CD)

Toshiba Satellite L505-S6946 and Vista Home Premium...

I’m glad you got your computer working again.

Me too.

Thanks.

Now the hunt is on for a new one. This one has become a hassle. Still getting DLL errors and such.

Would you recommend 8 over 7 ?

Which version of 7 is best ?

thanks

Win8 is easier to get than 7 anymore. As much as I love 7, I will be going to 8.1 when I build my new gaming machine. Microsoft realized the error of their ways with the Metro "Modern" interface and packages 8.1 with the standard desktop. The search capabilities are much more enhanced, and you'll get used to Win8, I believe. If you can get Win7, Home Premium should do you just fine. Ultimate is overboard, IMO.
