Hello,

I'm having trouble turning on my sony vaio. I've had this problem before and the computer tech didn't know what was wrong and just returned it to manufacturer but I don't want to have to do this.
I get a message about new software downloads being incomplete and the options launch startup repair or start windows normally. If I start normally it takes me right back to this screen and if I push launch startup it reezes on a black screen.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

This sounds like either a damaged hard drive or a damaged Window file. You might try the "repair" function in Vista. This requires you have a Vista boot-able DVD. Or you have made or can download a Vista "repair disk". I suggest you Google "vista repair" for more info.

Good Luck
