Windows Vista Startup Repair - Step 9

Click the Finish button once you see the Restart your computer to complete the repairs window to restart your PC and start Windows Vista normally.

Important: It's possible that Startup Repair didn't fix whatever problem you were having. If the Startup Repair tool determines this itself, it may automatically run again after your computer restarts. If it does not automatically run but you're still seeing problems with Windows Vista, repeat these steps to run Startup Repair again manually.

If it becomes apparent that Startup Repair is not going to solve your Windows Vista problem, you do have some additional recovery options, including a System Restore.

You could also try a Parallel Install of Windows Vista or a Clean Install of Windows Vista.

However, if you've tried a Startup Repair of Windows Vista as part of another troubleshooting guide, you're probably best served by continuing with whatever specific advice that guide is giving as your next step.
