Vista Boot in a Loop

Have a new Vista Home Premium laptop. I created a restore point, created
backup disks. Now, when I boot, I get the logo, loading message and circle,
then it goes back to the logo. This goes on continually.
If I press F8 and selecrt Last Known Good Configuration, it pops right up
and I can use it normally. How do I get it to boot normally, on its own?

Try booting to safe mode once and then see if it will boot normally.

Booted in safe mode, which came up ok. Restarted normally, it then went into
the startup loop again. So, that didn't help.

Well, it was worth a shot. You might check Device Manager and run sysinfo
and see if there are conflicting devices or problem devices.

No problems with Device Manager. Also, I ran Hardware diagnostics w/no
problems. Should I just do a restore?

Your guess is as good as mine at this point.

Sorry.

i have a vista home premium laptop too! Could you pls tell me how to create a
backup disk and a rebootable windows vista startup disk too? I'm concerned
that my operating system might crash on me oneday. PLUS, when i bought the
laptop, windows vista was already installed on it, but i was never given a CD
or DVD for installation. Is there a way I can create the CD?
