Windows Vista won't load on my Sony Vaio. When starting up, it brings me to a black screen that says there is software either missing or requires an update, and won't let me go past that screen. When pressing "enter" or "esc" it just takes me right back to the black screen.

dear ilginika,
if u have warranty, then go to your nearest service center..coz ly if there s any hardware prob. u'l hear beepin sound.
Did u try to repair windows os.. even coz of malwares your system might corrupt. so if you had no important files, then u may try to reinstal your windows os.
Anyway IF u have warranty then go to your nearest service center..

Try Safe Mode. Press F8 key during bootup and you will be presented with a black screen with multiple choices. Select "Safe Mode". This will load Windows with minimal drivers and with admin login option. If you can log in as administrator then create a new account in the Control Panel. Restart the computer and shut down. If it shuts down correctly then you are half way there, windows OS is not to badly corrupted. Boot up and if it comes up normally select the new profile you created.

If this does not work, then you will have to repair the system files, for which you will need a OS CD or restore disk.

If you can see the windows logo and get into the bios then it is not the graphics card.

Most likely cause is the os itself, just after post press F8 repeatetly until you have the boot mode page open and choose safe mode, in safe mode do a system restore, goto start bar, programs, accessories, system tools and system restore, and start from a resent restore point. This can can take a while, so be patient and let the computer restore itself until you have the windows screen up.

If the restore dosent work, goto safe mode again, right click on my computer goto properties and enter device manager, in there under display adapters click on the plus sign and uninstall the graphics card, reboot. hope this helps post back if need farther help.

Testimonial: "You were absolutely right, although I had already worked it out. I booted into safe mode, then went straight into devices and reinstalled the driver "
