    It seems you have a borked OS install.
    Have you installed the OS yourself or did it come pre-installed?

    drop your vista disk in the computer and restart--when it gets to the install screen, click REPAIR on the bottom left

    After a few seconds choose your install, then click on the startup repair link on the top

    martin, do not make multiple posts on the same topic. That's bad forum etiquette and we do not allow it here per the forum rules. Your posts have been merged. Thank you.

    First of all:
    I don't think that is the full error code - at least all the ones I ever saw were a bit longer. (also a lot of zeros)

    Next - try to explain your error a bit more "fluidly" in a slightly more "accessible way".

    But as said before - if you can't run through the initial instal process, either repair with a Vista disc or reinstal, as its a new laptop it won't be too much of a hassle.

    (Or return it if its new)

    7E is too broad to diagnose. See this reference of stop codes. You could try extracting WinSetup.dll from a .CAB file on the windows CD that (hopefully) came with the computer.

    There should have been four (4) error code parameters in parentheses, each in hexadecimal form, like so: 0x12345678, consisting of 8 digits following the "0x". If you provide us with those as well, we might be able to narrow the likely source of the error down somewhat.
