vista blue screen, crashes

[debwins]

I ran the sfc scan and it read there were corrup files and was unable to fix some of them. Computer didn't come with any disks, but I downloaded 2 recovery factory default disc and 1 driver and application backup disc from the computer. Do I need to use these on the computer? Also will I lose everthing on the computer? Again I appreciate all your help.

You should be able to use the Recovery Disks to repair the corrupted files and it will not harm the other data on your computer if you just do a Repair. If you do a full Recovery it will take your computer back to the day it was purchased.

How do I do just repair. When I loaded first recovery disk it read full recovery or exit, there wasn't an option for repair. Also do I use the application disk? Thanks

Almost every recovery disk is made differently so I'm not sure without looking at the disk. You may have do save your important data and do a complete recovery.

Thank you for all of your help, I greatly appreciate it. I ended up restoring the whole computer, at least it runs a lot better. Again I want to thank you (learned a lot)
