Well,
I googl'd and system restore doesn't work, and safe mode wont boot up - does the same thing as normal mode.
Also Ctrl+Alt+Del or any key combos wont work. I don't have a vista cd or anything, so what do I do?

Just to confirm, I type in my password, press enter, it shows "Welcome" and then its blakc screen just with cursor - and i've left it for a while and nothing

HELP?!

Is it doing the same if you select Safe Mode with Command Prompt?

If you can start the command prompt you might be able to chkdsk, sfc and do other possible investigation/reparation.

Nope command prompt doesn't work either.

how did u even try system restore if the screen goes black?

Used alienRespawn that it comes with. You have a few options and one of them is system restore.

you dont have a Vista CD an yet you installed Vista hoping it wouldnt have issues?...

so download one?
then do a repair

also most importantly did you still have uac enabled?
and did you do any security updates b4 it happened?

I guess i have a few obvious questions: what are you using? a laptop or a pc? why don't you have any backup or restore disk? answer this and would be easier to help you

Come on guys, isn't impossible to have a pc or laptop with vista, xp or any other os without have a disk, if you go and buy a pavilion it comes with 2 partitions one called C and another called D or anything like that with the information that you need to create the "rescue" disks or "restore" disks... so, he may be on this situation, and is not the first one in this world who doesn't have the disks

Now concentrate in the situation, if your laptop or pc have anywere in the hd the backup, you can change the botting settings from the bios and then start the pc from the second partition and try to format or fix the problem, but i'm not sure if i explain my self as well, anyway you have an option there that you should look for

Wish you luck solving your problem

Translation:
Its a laptop, and ICQ i didnt install vista, it came with it pre-installed (its a new laptop that he recently bought), and this problem has randomly arised.
Its has a backup but i dont want to restore my computer as i have programs and files which i need.

I know this doesnt help much, but do you have a backup of your files somewhere?
