[Answer]stop: 0x0000c1f5

Question：

I have gotten this stop: 0x0000c1f5 blue screen error on repeated attempts to load windows. After doing a little research I have come across that this is a issue with vista with a hotfix from microsoft. I am trying to figure out how to get the hotfix onto my computer since it will not start. I have also run across several sites  that mention gettign hold of a microsoft 7 beta version to remove the corrupted file. Please if you have any recomendations I'd really love to hear them.
Thank you.

Answer 1：

Hello rkippa,

Thank you for posting.  You are correct.  You can fix this problem by booting with a Windows 7 RC setup disk.  The steps are covered in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

You will need to follow this link to download the Windows 7 RC ISO file:

This is a free download from Microsoft.

Once you have downloaded the Windows 7 RC ISO file you will need to use a disk burning software application that supports burning ISO images.  There are several suggested in on the download site.  Once you have burned the ISO to DVD it will create a Windows 7 RC installation disk.  Simply follow the instructions in the KB article to repair Vista.  Let us know if this resolves your problem.

Thanks,

Jack

Answer 2：Jack!

You have apparently solved (or at least gotten my Vista back up for now) with the Windows 7 RC installation disk! I haven't gotten completely confident but I am back to something I can work with following the instructions you provided. Thanks for providing some info for a helpless computer iliterate to follow!!!
