    I just got this latop and installation of Vista was done at first bootup. The thing is, it installs a tone of junk apps too!
    I removed allot of it but now it doesn't always bootup. I'll get a black screen only and I have to reboot again. I don't think I deleted any system files but there may be some conflict or something at bootup (sometimes).
    Is there a way to reinstall just Vista without all that junk?
    Any guides out there on the net?

    thanks

    How about if I just use a copy of Vista I already have from my Desktop? Pop it in, load from DVD drive, reformat and reinstall Vista from DVD. Should this do the trick for a clean installation of Vista?
