    I installed Realone player 6.x.x version then upgraded to 11 version online. I forgot to remove my Flash drive from USB port(hope this is not a problem though). Shut down and removed the flash drive and restarted the computer and till user login there was no problem. After I entered password, welcome screen appeared with rotating icon. Thats it. No more progress.
    I even tried safe mode restarting the PC and again same problem :(
    I wonder why these SOny people cant provide a Vista Home edition CD. **** it
    Atleast if it is there, I can reinstall OS. Now what can I do?

    Most laptop manufacturers today don't provide any discs with their laptops, not just sony.

    Click on F12 (or F8 don't remember) when you turn on the computer, it will bring you to the recovery menu, and you can reinstall the windows from there

    Remember to make recovery discs.. so if anything goes wrong again, you can just boot with the discs
