I have downloaded a boot scree in Vista and can’t figure out how to use it as my boot screen, can anyone help me?

When i’m on the internet my computer screen blinks (vista acer) and i use the normal internet. I don’t know why it does it and

How can i stop it?

Basically, my Windows Vista computer’s screen got broken (it’s a laptop) but i want to get the files from that computer on to another one. The other computer happens to be Windows 7 and i just can’t work it out. For the record, the other computer still turns on fine and i can still see the upper left hand corner of the screen, but not much.

Don’t suggest hard drive transplants or putting the files onto some sort of removable media; these ideas won’t work for various reasons.

Thanks for your help

My neighbour has Windows Vista and has forgotten his password, as it is permanently logged on and never turned off (I did tell him this is not a good idea anyway).

He does not have a ‘reset disk’ as suggested as an option on the log on screen. Is there anything else we can try? He seems to think i’m some computer wizard but i’ve no idea what to do!
