Firefox Browsing And Got The Boot Screen
Jan 13, 2010
i was in firefox browsing and the laptop froze so i rebooted, this happened again so i rebooted again, now it gets to the boot screen and just keeps going through the progress bar and the (c) microsoft screen forever and ever
i have an oem vista disc that came with it and i placed it in the drive, selected boot from dvd and it went through the loading windows files screen and then got to the msoft/progress bar screen for about a minute and then a blank screen with no hdd/dvd activity. i ran system diagnostics from the bios menu and all hardware checks out. i've also checked all cables,etc and everything is good
i've tried safemode and it gets stuck at crcdisk.sys so i figure the problem is with the file structure on the hdd. anyone know why the boot from dvd would happen like above. I have downloaded a vista recovery iso but until i can get to work i can't burn it to a disc (snowed in today- bloody weather!)

A couple of times my screen turned blue for no reason. When there is no activity on the computer, it will turn to Sleep mode. On two occasions I went back and was browsing through the internet with my mouse and twice the blue screen appeared for no reason. I had to turn off the computer as the blue screen remained. Any reason for the blue screen?

This is the best install I have ever done (or was)…I did a fresh install and followed a tweak which was to very enlightening, to say the least. From there I have been to a few other sites and moved on to fully customizing my desktop/login and……well…this is where I stuffed up…My BOOT screen no longer works properly, even with the original “winload.exe.mui” file replaced.
I downloaded and used “Vista Boot Logo Generator” I loved the results on my last install…It worked well. Upon deciding to do a fresh install with Tweaking in mind, I simply coppied over a Boot logo I made previously after allowing permissions and all that as well as changing the NO GUI in msconfig…ect….BUT......

0) Run msconfig command and sign the "No GUI boot" option under boot options.
1) Use Vista Visual Master to generate winload.exe.mui with the image you like....

* When I start the system, it gets to the Vista's bootscreen (where you see the progress bar). At that point, the laptop freezes. In fact, it freezes before I can see the colored boxes in the progress-bar.
* If I force a cold shutdown (by holding down the power-button), and then restart the laptop, it might load fine and everything would be running fine (like there was never any problems).
* Assuming, it didn't freeze and loaded Vista successfully, then I would shutdown Vista through the Start button.
* If I try to start the laptop again, it will freeze at the bootscreen again.
* I cannot tell when it will freeze at the bootscreen..............

When I powerup my PC It automatically goes to the boot screen. I have to press F1 to get to get past it and to the password screen. I had to reformat my hard drive last month and its been doing that since then.

I've had an issue with my computer booting properly. I went from a 1:05 boot time to over a 2:00 boot because Vista go's to a black screen instead of loading my desktop. I'm not sure where to start fixing this, I've always been good with computers and have tried all the text book fixes and I have no where left to go. I made a video which is uploading now and will be up incase this doesn't make as much sense as I'd hope. All my drivers are up to date.

After installing Vista Ultimate w/sp1 on my MacPro, the normal start up was to be presented with the choose the OS screen which included Vista Ultimate and also Vista Business (recovered). I have no idea where Vista Business came from, it was a clean install. My problem is that all of a sudden I don't get the choose the OS screen and it goes into fall back. It does finally boot and the desktop seems the same. My RC flight simulator wants me to enter all the serial numbers again, but everything else seems to work. It still claims to be Vista Ultimate. When I go to Control panel/System/advanced/Startup and recovery there is only one choice for the default startup OS. Vista Business (recovered). I haven't set any restore points (I will next time)

For various reasons, I have a dual boot with Vista 64 bit and Vista 32 bit on separate internal hard drives. When the dual boot screen comes up, it lists both OS's as Microsoft Windows Vista, without any indication which is which and from which hard drive the OS is coming from. Is there any way to change the dual drive start up screen to be more specific as to which OS to select from?

There is finally an easy way (easier than before) to change your Windows Vista boot screen and use any high resolution photo as your boot screen. Using a great tool written by Dan Smith it is now possible to automatically generate the replacement language MUI file that contains your boot image files. All you need is two photos at 800x600 and 1024x768 saved as 24-bit windows bitmaps. Then follow these steps:
Download Dan Smith's Vista Boot Logo Generator.
Install and then run from the link in the Start Menu.
Hit Browse for image and select both the 800x600 and 1024x768 resolution bitmap files for your boot screen.
Click on File and select Save Boot Screen File as and save your file.
Next, you will need to replace the winload.exe.mui file in c:WindowsSystem32en-us with the one you just created. Before you copy in your new file, make a backup of the original. You will need to take ownership of all files in en-us as well as give your account file permissions to replace the file as well in order to copy the new winload.exe.mui file in.
The last step is to enable the alternative boot screen setting as shown in this tweak....

Disk check at boot : Is there a way to stop that darn thing from going off the screen after it is done ? Maybe there is nothing to report, but I'd like to see what

I have been using a different boot screen for awhile, with no issues. I updated to SP1 and everything seems to have went just fine. But it did, for some reason, change my boot screen back to the original. No big deal, I thought, I will just change it again. I did that, and it seemed to go fine until just now (a day later).
Now the boot screen once again is back to the factory boot screen, and I cannot get it to change to my custom. I can change the .mui file in the windows/system32/en-US folder (winload.exe.mui) with no problems. But when I restart, it is the factory boot screen.

When I try to boot my Vista laptop, it boots fine until after the green scrolling bar completes. Then, it goes to a black screen, then a darker shade, then a lighter shade of black. Then, an arrow appears. Nothing happens afterward. The screensaver will come on after a while. System restore doesn't fix it. What could I do or what could be the cause?

I installed Vista Home Premium upgrade as a dual boot with my original xp installation. Both are on separate hard drives. I now want to get rid of xp and use the hard drive for a Windows 7 machine I am building. Will this infringe the upgrade license? If this is okay, how do I get rid of the boot screen with OS choice option?

I have a boot issue since I got a Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ, I have a black screen the first 30 second on startup, that is until I get to the login screen. I tried hitting the F11-F12 keys but I still just get a regular startup instead of boot from disc. How do I get to boot from the vista disc and what is wrong with my monitor, it can't be right it has to stand around and blink for 30 seconds..?

I am unsure what has caused my problem, so I was hoping someone may be able
to shed some light on it for me. I am running, Vista Business 32bit. Everything had been working fine, but without any changes to hardware, software or drivers I now have resolution problems. Firstly, when I boot my pc up it all goes well until just after the ???Windows Vista??? logo at the bottom of the screen comes up (during boot) the monitor goes into standby mode. Now the only way I have found to get my monitor out of this is to unplug the DVI cable from the back of my tower and plug in back in. The monitor then runs as normal ??? SO THATS ONE PROBLEM. Secondly, when the above problem first happened (and this is still happening) my resolution is stuffed. My monitor can go up to 1680x1050 and my Video Card can easily handle this. (Which it had been doing). But now I can only achieve 1024 x 768.

Vista will not boot normally. I get to the black screen just before the Welcome, and then... nothing. Just a black screen. I CAN start in safe mode with networking, however. I disabled EVERYTHING in the msconfig startup, as well as all non-Microsoft service, to no avail. When I run ComboFix, I get the msg 'ComboFix is preparing to run', followed by 'Acess Denied. Administrator permissions are need to use the selected options. Use an administrator command prompt to complete these tasks'. I did right click on the CF icon on my desktop, and selected 'run as administrator' but got the same result. If I just let it run as is, I get the usual 'Scanning for infected files... This typically doesn't take more than 10 minutes, etc...', but NOTHING ever happens for at least 15 minutes after which ComboFix finally does start. However, while its running through the 50 stages, embedded in those stages is the occasional ''Access Denied. Administrator permissions are needed....". The completion of CF and subsequent restart did absolutely nothing to change the boot problem. I do have a MS Vista install disk, and I've run Startup repair. No change.....................

I have a notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit on it. The problem is that my boot is take a lot of time. First I get the BIOS screen with the Dell logo that is taking about 3 seconds (so that is good). But the loading bar is taking a lot of time. It is going from left to right for 13 times (This is not normal I think). After that, my screen is going blank for about 10 seconds and then I get a black screen with mouse cursor for about 10 seconds and then again a blank screen for 10 seconds (So a total of 30 seconds, which also not normal). After that I get the vista logo with the sound and the welcome screen, which is taking a long time (for about 25 seconds).
After that I get a blank screen for 20 seconds and then the desktop appears and from now on everything is running fine. So my question is: WHAT is causing this slow boot! I have already read the tutorial 'How to Speed Up Vista Boot Time' and did everyting they said. My startup programs are Kaspersky Internet Security and MSN Messenger. I have enabled superfetch and prefetch and set the registry value on 3. What else can I do to decrease the boot time?

It just would not boot up after shuting off the computer. The system kicked into the black option screen where I selected to let Windows run a [forget the wording] restore function. It finally did restore the system. I thought it was caused by the automatic Sun Java update that I allowed to be installed just before that happened.

im sure that AGES ago i saw a tutorial that told you how to disable the second monitor detection phase that some Vista PC's go through during boot up,resulting in a black screen that hung for about 20 seconds just before windows loads (i may well be making all this up. Im now win 7 and have an ATI card , both things are new to me and im experiancing an annoying 15 second black screen just before desktop loads. yes i know im asking for a vista tutorial to help with a win 7 issue but im sure it'll be the same and just to save anyone any time it is most definately NOT an ATI driver issue , this is 100% windows related and i remember solving the same issue for a friend with that tutorial on his Vista install a very very long time ago I had a quick look but it'll take me forever to find it (if it was here i did see it originally,im sure it is)
