    It is obvious that after installing more that on operating system your MBR is corrupted. This is the Master Boot Record (MBR) which is more correct. You will need to rebuild it. That is the only option to make your system work. Now there are two ways of doing it. First use the Recovery Console in Windows Vista and the command fixmbr and the second is use the command fdsik / mbr from a floppy boot of Windows 95 / 98 or Me.

    Try first to install your Network driver to make the LAN work. But sometimes re-installing the TCP / IP can make it work. This service is installed by default. To install it back open the Run window click on Start > Run and type the following code : netsh interface ip reset. Reboot your system and check back again. Don't forget to update the drivers.

    You can make you system speed up a little by disabling some startup services. The first way is Task Manager. You can see in Task Manager under the generic name svchost.exe (svc for 'service', and host to 'host'. You can see the services that are hidden under the generic svchost by typing in a DOS console: " tasklist / svc "). You can see the processor usage there. The other way is msconfig. Go the services tab and remove tick on those which aren not needed.

    In the memory dump there is a already started message indicating that Windows had recovered from a serious error and generated a report in the minidump file. What happens is when cases of serious error, wrote in a Windows file a copy of information stored there. It is necessary for troubleshooting options in Windows Vista. It is recommended that you let it enable by default.

    The memory dump is used to determine what could be causing the problem, however, read the file application with various tools and very special understanding of the file can actually serve as experts, given that problems often come with a driver . This dump generated when big problem is therefore unnecessary for 99% of men and slowed somewhat after the start of the operating system. To disable, click the Start menu and then make a right-click the desktop and click properties. In the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings in the combobox and write debugging information, select none. Then click OK twice.
