Please Help!!! VIsta Boots But everything stops Responding.

Can you get to control panel? If so try system restore under 'backup and restore'.

If it looks like Windows is trying to install something then hit crtl, alt, del to bring up task manager and try to shut it down, whatever it is.

You can also boot from the install DVD and get to system restore that way, I think.

Two things jump out at me from what you said.

First delete Xfire and all components until all else is running well. It brings in network settings and other components that only serve to make troubleshooting more difficult.

Second because it has has happened to me get a copy of driver eraser and delete the forceware drivers up to the point where windows boots to pure VGA. This may take up to several attempts as windows tries to revert to the previous versions of your drivers before going to default.
This applies to all Nvidia drivers.

Third can you get to device manager and see what may not have installed correctly?

Fourth are the files you want to keep your files or program files that can be reloaded?
Most games store their customer settings in certain folders. Usually somewhere under your name or your documents. Save those folders along with your letters to Santa and anything else that cant be reloaded and put them on a cd.

Thanks For the Answers guys..
