So I just built my system, with Vista 64. I wanted to download Coretemp but apparently that requires unsigned drivers so I tried to get into Advanced Boot Options through F8 while booting. F8 never registered, so now I tried going into MSConfig -> Boot -> Safe Boot.

Now it goes into Advanced Boot Options but it seems to be frozen - none of my keystrokes register (Arrow keys, Enter, etc.) so I can't get out of it. Every time I boot the computer it will come to this screen.

I tried booting up with the Vista CD but for some reason it will not do anything when I press keys while "Press any key to boot from CD" is displayed.

The keyboard does register while I'm booting before this screen appears, though, because I can get into BIOS.

If your mouse works: Start/Computer/System/Device Manager

Delete the keyboard and restart.

Please post your solution. I am having a similar problem. I can only boot to a blank screeen. I have tried all the safe modes and normal mode, and all lead to a blank screen with a cursor, and no prompt. To make matters worse, I dont have my Vista disk.
