When I try to start up my Gateway laptop (Windows Vista), Windows fails to start. My PC says that it has to do with a recent hardware change or software change. I tried launching the Startup Repair but that also fails. My Pc won't enter safemode either.. Is there anything I can do to get past my startup screen?
