I know you can change the background image on the shutdown and start up screen but can you you have different shutdown and logon screens in Windows 7? I want to leave the start up screen alone but have a custom shutdown screen. Also can you change the 'Shutting down..." to say something else?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible for me to stretch the logon screen onto 2 screens?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to strip Windows 7 of every single screen and message before login... and before shutdown.
So we've got:
- Boot sequence
- Logon screen
- Preparation to Logon
- Preparation to Shutdown
Boot sequence was easy to completely black out, by using [URL](black background, all messages removed)
Logon screen can be skipped without hacks, just a matter of having no password.
Now I'm left with the Logon ("Preparing your desktop...", "Applying user preferences", "Welcome"... etc.) and the Shutdown ("Shutting down..." etc.) screens and messages.
Is there a way to completely disable both?
If there isn't, I am thinking of a hack: both are made by a background (which you can change with custom graphics by putting them into the OOBE folder and a couple registry keys). Then, there are text messages which are contained somewhere and can be emptied by using ResourceHacker (I found some of them but not all). Finally, somewhere within some exe or dll, there should be the "working" circle of light and the Windows 7 logo, which are superimposed to the custom background. I am attaching a picture for clarity.
Once, I saw the startup and shutdown used a black startup/shutdown with like gray or silver graphics..not the usual wimpy pale blue.
No idea how I did this--anyone else seen a different version like myself?
It doesn't actually show a blue screen, but it automatically restarts and says windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. After looking at the details I get these error codes.

It all started after I clicked on a bad link and tried installing some software. I virus scanned and removed two trojans. Nothing has been detected and I've full scanned with both microsoft security essentials and Malwarebyte antimalware and nothing comes up anymore.
I've seen a three year thread about this subject with no solution, I was wondering if this was possible. I know the shutdown and logon screens use the same image, but is there a way to have the shutdown a custom image and the logon and black screen? If this isn't possible would anyone have any suggestions? I have decided if this can't be done I'm just gonna leave a black background with "Shutting down Super Nintendo PC" (which you can actually see at the end of the video) I've attached a video showing my issue
View 1 Replies View RelatedClick start / Click shutdown / Shutdown process starts then hangs at a message "A program needs to close - Windows Logon". Let it set for a couple minutes and it may or may not complete the shutdown process. Sometimes I have to click the Forced button.Does not do this if restart is clicked.

Ever since then the Boot and Shutdown times have increased to over 15 minutes. I have run the msconfig unticking all but the antivirus (Kaspersky) and it still takes >15 min to boot and Shutdown. Is there something I can do before I decide to reinstall Windows &. (I dont have a install disk.) The software came with the Computer and I have the OEM code (Bought at Best Buy)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two windows updates that keep failing. When i go to shutdown my computer I always have an update icon attached to the shutdown key. The download is always 1of1. Then when i reboot, the update icon is still there. I'm thinking since the two updates are failing, it has something to do with the 1of1 update not downloading properly. I went to windows update to check for new updates, and the only one is the two that keep failing. My computer just blue screened on shutdown today, winch got me thinking i really need to fix this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have just been sent a free computer for our office. A Windows 7 HP 32bit.We can login locally i think to a local user KB_SUF/User (where KB_SUF is the name of the computer)however whenever the UAC comes up when installing anything, we cannot proceed because it keeps saying "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request" The thing is they sent us the computer without removing it from the domain Now I cant install the programs i need to work and it doesnt seem like theres a local admin on this computer. I tried removing this computer from the domain but it requires going through UAC.Is there any way to make this computer a Local only PC?The company that sent us the computer is in another country and they say they can send someone over in 6 months which is longer than i can wait.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since we've got this desktop we seem to have problems with the screens. It's like it randomly chooses different worlds to reside in. We turn on our computer and then it's just our background picture with no taskbar or programs, but if we just turn the monitor off and then on again it goes back to our regular screen. Then once our screensaver picks up and we decide to get back on, it does it again and so on. Sometimes when we minimize things it disappears off into those other worlds (off to the right side of the computer screen somewhere). Does anyone have any clue as to why this is going on? Is there a way to delete those other "worlds" that my computer visits every so often and that all my stuff likes to travel to?

since I have two screens connected to my PC anyway, I wonder now whether two people could use one PC at the same time, using two different USB mice.
One person would play Mah-Jong on one screen while the other person would use the internet on the other screen.
I think it's called mutliseat.
On my primary monitor I've run a 360 and my Windows 7 p.c into it. I've set up a shortcut hotkey so that I can disable the primary to swap to the 360 when needs be. However I'd like to be able to access the web whilst using my 360 without having to cycle through the monitor menu to swap back. So I got my old monitor on my desk, however I can't think what to do with it. It's got a lower resolution than my primary so simply making it the secondary whenever I want to use the 360 isn't viable (it messes up the icons).
I can't think of any work around, using ultramon and shrinking the main image isn't very good either due to it having both delay and a lower framerate even at the the highest systme usage settings. Can you guys think of any work arounds? I've tried saving the icon positions but then firefox still opens in the main monitor. I really would like to swap monitors on the fly with a hotkey and restore icons later.
would like to add a 3rd monitor to my PC, I understand I need a Graphics card that can support 3 monitors, I think this is ports AGP DMI HDMI if the initials are wrong I am sorry, anyhoo I then have 3 ports to plug into, the question is.. Stay with me I have 2 Hanns G 23" monitors and a HP 24", I would like the HP to be the centre one, in which I do most of my work, the other 2 which I hope can be left and right of centre, going with the graphics card at the moment, I have screen (1) and screen (2) it was simple setup, but I have to push my mouse to the right to get into my 2nd screen thats sits on my left, ok I could place this screen on my right, it's not the point, when I get the 3rd screen will I have the flexibility to make the centre screen i.e the one that will hold my icons etc number 1 screen, then in a perfect world push the mouse to the right and I am in the RH screen, or push the mouse to the left (from centre screen) and I am in the LH screen?

When I'm using my computer I tend to get a black screen at random times. So far they usually occur while I'm browsing the web and while I'm playing games while on Skype. This happened before and the problem was that I needed a new DVI cable. After getting it fixed it was working fine until about a week ago where I started getting few crashes. Now I'm getting 1 crash everyday.There are times where I go to start my computer, but after the Windows logo I am left with a black screen. I usually keep restarting my computer until it turns on normally. I don't know why but I have a hunch that it might be PSU, temperature, or compatibility problems.I'm not sure if I've attached everything you need, so do let me know if I'm missing anything.
