Hello,
I have an HP desk top with Vista. I tested and all it said was my volume driver was not working. How do I get another volume driver if Windows won't start up? Help Anyone

Volume driver - as in audio ? You tested what, how ? Can you startup in safe mode ?

No Windows won't even start to do safe mode. It just starts testing again and then wants me to report it. When I go into details it says the volume driver is corrupt or outdated. I tried to use the boot cd...same thing. I did a fix boot command and it was successful but did nothing.???
Any thoughts welcomed.

Before you tried to use the boot CD, did you go into setup (f2 key at startup) and make your cd drive 1st in the boot sequence ? I think you are still booting or trying to boot from the HDD.

I tried everything and finally did a restore. Is there any way that you know of to get my files back? I lost it all and I just thought maybe I could get some of it back.
