Re: No Matter What Installations Won't Boot On My Laptop

Whatever is trying to load "after" the last successful log entry is the
faulting device.

I noticed a few entries near the end that state "did NOT load driver". Not
good.

Does the computer manufacturer say that the laptop will even run Vista?

Looking at the boot log on my my desktop, it looks like a hid driver is
supposed to load next.

Problems with the laptop's media keys perhaps?
