[urgent] Vista Crash No Backups! S.o.s!!

[aleyshark]

My laptop crash with blue screen, I think it's because my bro accidentally installed a vista-non-compatible program, which is Alcohol 120%. Yea, my OS is Vista!

Here's the problem:

1. I've tried save mode, command prompt, n networking only, but to no avail **
2. I have no money to repair, the Fujitsu Center charges for $130
3. The most important thing, I have no backups!

** Maybe this is caused by Auto-Start Alcohol, therefore it crashes right away after I log on, leaving me no chance to uninstall it.

Can someone help me? I need to remove that Alcohol without logging in? Is there some software to solve it? Or somebody has another alternative?

Thank you, my laptop is crucial, I need to do many projects with it.

hmm..the pain of laptops.
Anyways i suggest you repair your vista installation (do you have your Vista dvd ? )
Am sure vista will work after that.
If you don't have your Vista dvd, download a linux distro, any which runs live, boot it and access your drive from it, there start copying whatever data you have to an external or other storage media !!

cheers

no, alochol should be fine, i have installed it in vista many times before. but, try what patrickv said. if all comes to worse. you will have some data backed up using patrickv idea and a fresh install of vista!!1 fun
