If you boot from the Vista reinstallation disc (generally
not "recovery" media as most of those are designed to reimage your drive, not repair it) and go into the repair options, or choose Repair from the F8 boot menu you should be able to run System Restore. That alone should take care of this.
Beyond that, what blue screen are you getting? They're not all the same. They have different error codes to offer some sort of indication of what has gone wrong. At the very least, tell us everything under the "Technical Information" section.
A good time to note to create a system backup point for system restore when everything is working well, so you aren't restoring to factory settings lol. (
but sometimes peopel turn it to automatically do that, or a program makes it, so it does depend)
That right there. That's the crap I'm talking about.
"but sometimes peopel turn it to automatically do that"
What? Here's what I think you were trying to say...
"Sometimes people will enable System Restore to automatically create restore points for them"
....and while what I wrote actually makes grammatical sense it still doesn't make technical sense since System Restore's DEFAULT SETTINGS automatically create restore points. A portion of your hard drive space (typically %4) is set aside to store said restore points, with the oldest restore points being overwritten if the allocated space has been used up. Restore point creation is triggered whenever updates or unsigned drivers are installed, as well as some applications. Otherwise it will create a restore point every 24 hours, or failing that the next time the computer is turned on.
Again, what you say..... it doesn't make sense.
