[CQ-Contest] Windows Vista booting problem

[Neal Campbell]

Hi Rick

If it starts in safe mode, its a driver. What have you added in the past few
days that was new? Did you allow MS to do windows updates?

I don't think its HRD if its been running for a month. Your problem is
something that occurred very recently, some change.
