Vista Ulimate Hangs

I recently had to remove Logitech Setpoint manager from my pc, after
uninstalling i did not restart the pc. A few days later re-started and the
system would not load i would get a black screen with only the mouse cursor
and nothing else.
Started up in safe mode and re-installed setpoint manager, restarted in
normal mode and had the same problem. Tried starting up in all possible safe
mode's however have the same problem. Additionally tried running the vista
DVD repair option however once i boot in dvd i get the vist screen and mouse
pointer but nothing alse. i run xp on a seperate hard disk, can i do any
repairs to vist through xp. is there any other tips?

So when you attempt to boot into WinRE you get nothing? You should be able
to system restore from there.

If you boot into XP I guess you could load the registry hive from the Vista
installation and then disable the service for the mouse and see if that
helps.

vista i could try that option. thanks

Boot into XP, open regedit, highlight HKLM, choose file-->load hive and
then point it to the hive for Vista, find the service and set the start
value to 4.

Let me know if that doesnt make sense
