Manage updates with the Download App
I recently had trouble starting Windows Vista, it kept going to the page that gave me the usual options such as regular start up, start up in safe mode, etc. After about the fourth try, it gave me an option to repair the Windows registry. I do not remember what else was on the page. Can anyone tell me how to get to this option in a planned sequence not just accidentally? By the way, this option corrected my problem and I think it would correct a lot of problems for a lot of people.

I've never had to repair the registry to fix a non-booting Vista. But I have had to repair Vista from users running registry repair and cleaners!

Not in those words. I suspect this was something like "Last Known Good Configuration" from the Safe Mode list of options where the system attempts to load the last successful set of system settings. This is what Microsoft says about "Last Known Good Configuration";
It's a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly. Every time you turn your computer off and Windows shuts down successfully, important system settings are saved in the registry. You can use those settings to start your computer if a problem occurs. For example, if a new driver for your video card is causing problems, or an incorrect registry setting is preventing Windows from starting correctly, you can restart your computer using Last Known Good Configuration.
If you see the option again, (I hope you don't need to do that again), take a photo and upload it to some image hosting web site and post the link here. We would be interested to see the exact wording.
