Hello, Actually the problem occurs because of some corrupted files. You need to set up a virtual machine instance of Vista x64, and copy all the *.nls files in /Windows/System32 and all the *.fon files from Windows/Fonts. Now, put them on a USB memory stick, and insert that into the broken machine. WindowsRE can read USB drives. Now, overwrite the files on the damaged box with those from the clean install, and then reboot it.
