Vista SP 1 Problem

I just recently purchased a new game, and it said it would help the game's
performance to install Vista Service Pack 1. While doing this, at the end of
configuring updates, I recieved a black screen and "0xc0190036" with some
message like keyboard.### after it. It never changed from this screen.
From different websites online, I read my best bet is to reinstall Vista. I
have an Acer computer, and I am not positive that I recieved a back-up CD
with my purchase. If I did, it must be lost, as my house is organized like
an OCD freak would do. I was able to find XP OS disk, and quickly put that
in, only to soon realize this was a Dell OS. This basically was a whole
bunch of fail, and now it seems my only option is to boot "CD-ROM" with the
Vista CD which I do not have in there...



Any ideas? Suggestions?



Thanks in advance.

Contact Acer, and they will ship you recovery disks for a charge of about $40

Try booting into "Safe Mode"....turn the computer on and let it go
through it's system check....
Once you see the flashing cursor in the top left of the screen, press
the F8 key.

Search Dell's site to see if they have one you can download.....some
manufacturers do, some don't.

Go take a look at what they have at:
http://bootdisk.com/

It is an ACER computer, you CLOWN!

Another intelligent reply from Mick The Dick Murphy. You're not Crocodile
Dundee so shut up Mick The Dick Murphy. You should take Australia off of
your signature, Crocodile Dundee is going to get mad that an idiot like you
is from Australia. Now go home and tend to your wife/sheep she's lonely.

Unfortunately, if your Acer is like my HP, they tell you regularly (via
onscreen message) to make a backup via CDs or DVDs. I finally made the DVD
backup; even it took two -- and I've backed up all my data to a USB drive.
My system didn't come with a backup disc either, only with a D: partition
(no use if it's gone bust). I hope this isn't the case for you.

Mick the Dick forgot to use his "f" bombs in this one. Must be
getting senile, or maybe he was posting sober for a change.
