You did not say what you downloaded. You sound as if you have an attack on
you boot manger from a virus. If it starts run your virus protector.

I downloaded some real player software to enable me to play different media
formats and real games software. At the moment I can't get past the bootmgr
is missing mesage I have checked in setup and my hard drive is at the top of
the boot list as other people have had a problem with the computer trying to
boot from the wrong drive in set up. I don,t have a vista repair disk as my
laptop came preloaded with vista. I have made a backup of my computer noto my
usb hard drive, would I be able to boot from this external hard drive?

Hello, I'm getting the problem on my laptop with the "bootmgr is
missing" i'm trying to do a clean install of vista on my dell laptop,
but my installation disc isn't loading. It looks like it is loading the
disc but is stops on a black screen with just the mouse pointer and
nothing else. it failed an installation before and had shown an error
when it restarted, and now the "bootmgr is missing" error is there and
booting from a cd/dvd is not loading my disc to repair or install a new
install. has anybody got and clue how to fix this??? thank you :)
