Here's some instructions in doing Repair of Vista (startup repair) from Microsoft:

About the passwords, bookmarks, files should be safe if you do the Startup Repair but then again we cannot guarantee this. Doing a back up now is good and encouraged, if it is still possible. But if it is not since you cannot boot up to Vista, I do not think you have any choice unless of course you take your hard drive and attach it to another computer via USB or adapter and pump your data from there.

so i suggest you do the startup install first and let us know what happens.
I'm confused now , My comp is running ok , apart from the sp1 issue . All that seems to be causing the problems are corrupt system files (possibly corrupted by a malware problem thats been fixed by Ried .


As for the startup repair , I shall check now !
