Comp wont start..Goes to black screen.

Hi,

I have a Hp Pavilion dv9000 laptop
with Windows Vista.


when i turn it on a message pops up saying

"C:\Windows\system32\POWRPROF.DLL is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."

It started doing this after it ran disk check because it was shutdown incorrectly.
then the message came up and when I hit OK it goes to a Black Screen and stays there.

Do you have the original Windows Vista CD?

[Curtis185]

No, I dont. I have a Partition on the computer.

Do a restore from the recovery partition.  Vista is still too new and has many problems not yet heard of let alone solved.

So true!

Have a look on the windows website for patches for windows vista and if none see if when they are going to come out.

They would be hard to install considering he cannot log into Vista right now.

But if you get it working again, be sure to install all the updates it needs.
