Hello,
I have Win 7 on a Toshiba Satellite C660; recently a MS - induced update took over the desktop and shut down Windows, then restarted; but the restart failed, getting no further than a faded logo, then a washed-out cursor.
I tried a restart and saw a notice that Windows had failed to start in the 'Error Recovery' window, so ran 'Startup repair' several times. The diagnosis it offered was 'root cause - system volume on disk is corrupt' and so I ran the 'Startup Repair'
function repeatedly, until a choice of startup modes appeared; I chose 'safe mode' and did a System Restore to a couple of days earlier, which brought back the normal Win 7.
How can this be prevented from happening again (It has happened and was got round in the same way)?
I wonder if a registry entry may have been inadvertently deleted when trying to get rid of a 'Delta Toolbar' virus
which sneaked aboard while I absently allowed an update of a CD burning program, and if so, how this might be repaired?
With thanks for any suggestions,
Ron
