Booting on command prompt goes shows that it now stalls at aaswVmm.sys.Įverything is backed up, and I've been vacillating between trying to fix the system or just start over, but it took me a lot of work to get my work environment set up on this computer and I'd like to restore the system if possible. Now my computer boots to VAIO rescue, which I guess is an improvement, but it tries startup repair and then wants to do a system recovery. I tried using Farbar and created a fix file to take out aswrvrt.sys. Using Avast's uninstall utility deleted the program folder but didn't change the boot problem. Someone gave me Hiren's boot disk14-something and I've been able to boot to mini WinXP with that and open RegEdit it offers to merge my registry backup but I didn't know if that was a good idea. I tried rebooting with a recovery disk (first disk of 3 created through a wizard when I first got the computer) and was not able to boot to Windows. Booting with command prompt showed aswrvrt.sys and then stalled and went to black screen.
The computer wouldn't boot to safe mode, last known good configuration didn't help, startup repair wasn't able to fix the computer, restoring to a previous point isn't offered except through Startup Repair, and it can't find a restore point. The VAIO screen appeared, it looked like the computer was starting to boot, and then it went to black screen, no cursor.
Vaio update 7.1 windows#
The computer started installing the Windows updates the 2nd Tues in July, shut down to finish the updates, and wouldn't boot to windows when I turned it back on. It has Avast free, Threatfire, and a firewall. The computer is a Sony VAIO E series, model VPCEB33FM. I had suspected that the problem was related to a Windows update because the computer stopped working in the process of installing a Windows update. I first posted this provlem in the Win 7 forum, but I am moving to this forum because the problem may be malware-related.
