Black Screen Instead Of Logon Screen
I use the bios selection to boot from either drive A or B.I use Windows dual-boot menu on drive B to select between Vista and 7RC.
The black screen problem was first observed with both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the Beta distributed at the Installation Festival. I had taken only one monitor to the festival and everything appeared to be working fine then. Once home, I noticed that I had no sound. I downloaded drivers for my SPXFI card and got sound but, got the black screen on reboot. I asumed that the SB driver was the cause. I had configured the Display on DVI 2 as my main display.
I then tried the 32-bit version with the same results. I had purchased a brand new 1TB drive for my Win 7 experimentation. I had disabled my main drive (A) throught the BIOS for installation. I hastily concluded that W7 was not quite ready for my system. I installed Vista Home Premium on my B drive using the same method and everything worked fine.
When RC was announced, I downloaded the 64-bit version, created a partition on my B drive and installed it there while my A drive was disabled from the BIOS. Installation went fine but I encountered the same black screen problem on the final reboot. However, I observed the odd disk activity and did not want to turn of the computer while this was going on. I tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete and other things and managed to get some voice from the computer.
I had activated the Access functionality from the invisible logon screen. I did another Ctrl+Alt+Delete, typed my password and followed by Enter. The monitor connected to DVI 1 immediately came on. I did not have a menu bar because I had specified the other monitor as my primary one. A right-click on the screen brought up the contextual menu, from which I selected Personalize > Display > Change display settings.
Clicking the "Detect" button turned on the second monitor. I plan on altering my connection so that my main display will be on DVI 1 instead of 2. In the mean time, I will blind-type my password and restore the settings.

Upon Startup, Black Screen With Mouse, No Logon Screen
Okay, I did my research, but it hasn't helped. I've tried: 1. F8, enable low resolution video (didn't work) 2. F8, safe mode (didn't work) 3. F8, last known good (didn't work) 4. Startup repair (didn't work) Anybody got other ideas? I can't login at all as I don't ever get a login screen.

Black Screen Of Death On Logon
you guys wouldn't know a fix for a Windows 7 RTM Ultimate every time they logon its a black screen but they can see the logon screen until it goes to the desktop. I'm pretty sure its the video card driver or the video card itself. Computer Type: Desktop Video Card Type: ATI Radeon 4870 Works in safe mode with internet Alt Ctrl Del works but doesn't show taskmanager Cannot logout only shutdown. Fresh install (today) Tried reinstalling the vista driver and then the windows 7 driver. I heard something about BIOS could be a factor but i don't think so.

Black Screen Before Logon / Cannot Boot
I've had this issue multiple times -- usually startup repair restores to an earlier point, but it appears that the system did not create a new restore point in between the past two times this occurred, so currently I can't boot to 7.After the "Starting Windows" screen with the glowing logo, I simply get a black screen with the mouse on it (which I can control). An interesting thing I noticed is that when it gets to the black screen, the backlight on my screen dims. I can't bring up task manager, anything. End up just having to hard restart the laptop.

Remote Desktop, After Logon, Black Screen
I am able to Remote Desktop fine from a laptop running Windows 7 into my desktop running Windows 7, the problem is that once I LOGOFF (or disconnect) and go to my desktop, all I see is a black screen with the mouse movement. CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing. I can go back to the laptop and RD into my desktop and it lets me login just fine. But I have restart the system again by pressing the POWER BUTTON (soft, not hard 4 sec) and it goes to shut down, with nothing to show on the screen other than black and mouse cursor. anything I'm doing wrong?

Black Logon Screen On Hibernate Only, Resolved By Unplugging Monitor
After running Windows 7 RC since June I have encountered a problem over the last week which I am unable to resolve. If I boot the machine from Hibernate mode the logon screen appears black. The monitor is receiving signal, but it is not displaying anything. If I unplug the monitor from the back of the computer and plug it back in then Windows 7 makes its installing new hardware sound and the logon screen appears. I do not experience this black screen when using Sleep mode or a standard Shutdown, only Hibernate. I have only recently experienced this problem and can only assume it was caused by a recent Windows 7 update, as I have not installed any new hardware etc. I am running an Intel Core 2 duo and Nvidia 8600GTS on a 17" Illyama LCD monitor. It is a single monitor setup. I have tried installing the latest Nvidia drivers and this has not affected the situation. Does anyone have any idea what has broken hibernate mode on my PC?

Post Is Fine Then Black Screen After Windows Start Screen
After a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit everything is great until I shut it down. When I turn it back on the boot is normal until just after the startup screen then the Monitor goes black and into sleep mode while the PC seems to continue on. It doesn't do it all of the time. I have loaded all the latest drivers for Win 7 for all the hardware I have. I post mentioned the CRT Monitor had to be shut down for and hour then he could see the windows screen. He also said the LCD monitor was fine. So, is this the fix? a new Monitor? or is there some setting I can adjust to get past the black/sleep screen issue?

Video Games Black Screen That Crashes While In Full Screen
All the games I had when I used Windows Vista were playable. Now with Windows 7, whenever any of my games starts in full screen mode, my monitor turns black and does nothing else. The monitor still detects my computer because the monitor gave me no error of a missing input. I cannot alt+tab or Ctrl+Alt+Del or even WindowsLogo+Tab and I am forced to cut the power and restart. After long tiring research giving me such suspects like DirectX 11, disabling Aero, to the all popular lacking computer requirements to play the game I could play before I installed Windows 7. My conclusion was I could play games as long as there are not in full screen mode or in other words Windowed Mode. Why must I play all my games in Windowed Mode to play them on Windows 7? Is there a way to fix this problem? I have already tried to play a few games in compatibility mode and it does not change anything.

Black Screen After Coming Out Of Screen Saver
I have a lenovo X61 which I removed all partions of and installed W7U x64. downloaded the lenovo update utility and the combination of lenovo auto download and windows update installed all necessary drivers. Machine was working beautifully for at least 4 weeks.Then once I was working without the power plugged with over 50% of charge left. Went away for a while came back and the machine was I assume in blank screen saver mode. I moved the point tracker, typed some keys but the deep black screen would not go away. tried forcing to go into sleep by shutting the cover. that didn't work. Tried for force it into hibernation by pressing the power button once that didn't work. Hard reset it by pressing the power button until it went off.when rebooted it allowed me to login but Symantec NIS2010 gave me an error that it is was not activated although it was. I restarted the machine and this time it will not boot. Tried safe mode. No luck.I had to reinstall everything again 4 days ago.Yesterday again, I got the black screen when my laptop went into blank screen saver mode with no power connected to it.Hard reset was the only solution. This time I started up in Safe Mode then restarted and it is working fine. However, I do not want to risk going through the same issue again. We are configuring a volume mirror replication at work to recover faster if something happens again. But this is very troubling, time consuming and frustrating. any ideas what the issue might bet?

Is There A Logon Screen Screensaver ?
In XP & Vista a Windows screensaver would turn on after a short while if the system was left on the user[s] log-in screen. At least with my installation of Windows 7Â RC1, this does not appear to be the case. if left on that screen, nothing ever happens. Is this WAD? And, if so, is there any way to turn it on?

No Screensaver On Logon Screen
My wife and I each have user accounts and we "Switch User" back and forth all the time, and sometimes leave it at the logon screen with our two icons to click on. In XP, the screensaver would run on the logon screen, but I'm noticing that nothing happens from the logon in 7. We have use the photo screensaver which makes it a digital picture frame of sorts, but if you leave it at the logon, you'll come back an hour later to see our two icons waiting for you. Has the screensaver on logon been removed or is there a configuration I'm missing?

Customize Welcome / Logon Screen
Has anyone found a way to change the "Welcome" screen without downloading a "fix" from the inet? I've tried creating a jpeg (the correct size) in windowssystem32oobeinfoackgrounds (saved as defaultBackground) and making a chage in the registry to: HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Authentication>LogonUI>Background... Key OEMBackground value 1 ... but to no avail. What is interesting is that the original MS background file ((bitmap) in system 32oobe) that is the welcome screen has security permissions on it .... with Adminstrators only having Read/Read and Execute ONLY... O.O TrustedInstaller has full rights to it . Any suggestions?

Replacement Bitmaps For Logon Screen
Nothing special just give the Bitmaps a Black hue instead of the standard colors. Screenshots of my Laptop screen I apologize apparently my digital camera sucks, they don't really show the effect of the change as well as actually looking at the screen. Also I have uploaded a copy of my own edited Authui.dll with the excess crap removed from the file to get filesize down. Instructions to download are included with the zip file, along with a copy of the original Bitmaps Note: If your looking at screenshot of my laptop, you'll notice buttons still look blue, that is only from the transparency effect coming from the wallpaper. The buttons will take on the hue of the wallpaper.

Customizing The Win7 Logon Screen
If anyone is interested in customizing their Windows 7 Logon screen such as moving items or removing items. Current Edits so far: Change Wallpaper - Very easy yes we all know Change button text shading - another easy one everyone knows Remove Windows 7 Banner Remove Shutdown buttons - Red button set at bottom right corner Remove Ease of access button - Blue button bottom left corner ( This one I haven't seen anyone accomplish yet and every site I visited said it isn't possible as of 2 am this morning I successfully changed the following Custom Userbox Custom Enter Button Custom Shutdown Button set Custom Ease of Access Button set If anyone tries these out especially on a x64 machine and has trouble let me know. I've had report of a blackscreen when locking the computer but it hasn't happened to my machine running x86. Also before doing any of these hacks create a restore point first goto control panel/system'advanced system settings/system protection and click create Ok so heres instructions: If your not comfortable with editing yourself here are the basebrd.dll and the authui.dll files that I customized for my pc. They will work for all versions of Windows 7.
