my dam dell vista computer won’t start after i installed a number of comodo products. First I installed the firewall and antivirus which worked fine, did the system restart too and everything was fine. But then i installed the other products such as the cleaner the encyption product too the website validation just to try all these products out. So the computer asked me to restart the computer so the other install’s can take effect. So when i went to restart the computer it doesnt start now? it gets as far as the windows dell load screen and then restarts after getting that far by itself and keeps going in cycles like that, HELP
i cant even get to safe mode or anything. I can only get to setup which is the f2 button in vista and f12 the boot menu. Windows is saying IT is preventing start up because there could be damage to the syatem if it starts up? it says the problem is, is UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
its saying to delete any new software or hardware that was recently installed which is funny when it won’t even allow me inside my own dam computer. I am so sick of all these safty precautions that come with vista that it wont even allow you to enjoy your own dam computer. I see why apple keeps talking garbage about it
This seems the type of problem that is related to hard disk and programs interacting with hd. So I take the chance moving it to the Disk Encryption board.
If you have a installation DVD of Vista,or can borrow one (all versions of Vista are on the DVD so any Vista installation DVD will work), you can boot from it and choose to repair instead of installing Vista. One of the things to try is to run chkdsk /f from the command prompt. Or try system restore.
thanks erica. I found out what it was and corrected it. I paniced over a small problem lol. It’s just scary when you own computer won’t let you inside
its weird i had truecrypt on my computer encrypting the whole computer and then when i installed comodo’s syatem cleaner, validation page, anti malware products with the firewall and antivirus my computer couldnt hardly start and i had to decrypt truecrypt to get my computer to work normal again, does anybody know why?
Do I come across that girly? 88) ;D

Which version of Comodo System Cleaner do you use? The latest stable or the 2 beta?
the one of the site right now. I assume its the latest
That is the latest stable version.
I will move this topic once again and will move it to the System Cleaner board.
ok so after decrypting truecrypt everything was working fine untill today, my computer won’t boot again very very strange. I don’t know what to do now
Could be Hardware; PSU or something…
What happens when you switch it on?
it just shows the dell sign and then restarts like that
whats the actual wording i have to type to find comodos system cleaner from the command line?
When the command prompt opens, change to the C: drive (assuming that is your root drive) by typing [b]cd C:[/b] after the prompt. Then at the C:\ prompt type: cd Program Files\Comodo\Comodo System Cleaner. Now that you have changed to the CSC directory, just type csc.exe after the prompt and the Comodo System Cleaner program will start up.
Can you boot from CD/DVD without any problems? If so, your Hardware may be fine.
I would Restore an Image of your HDD if the Hardware’s fine… You do ‘Backup’, right? ;D
If not, this may help you in the future once everything is working again…

Fast-Farward to ‘Macrium Reflect’ by clicking the Link in my YouTube Comment. Watch until 16:08 as he talks about other things from that point, which may confuse you.
yes i can access my computer with a cd-- ubuntu or something like that. But i cant really do anything in there whenever i try launching a program it says ‘‘not enought memory’’ or it just says ‘‘cant open’’
so what can i do now?
whats the command line to delete the system cleaner from the command line because its giving me really big problems
Why do you want to delete it from the cmd line?
What about add/remove programs?
i need to get rid of comodo system cleaner. How can I do that? i figured i could through ubuntu but nothing really opens through ubuntu since its different from vista and is running with very low memory/room
i wish i can delete it from add/remove but my computer won’t boot up and i cant explain it but im sure its comodo’s system cleaner that is causing this huge mess for me. So the only other option i have is to delete it through the command line
