I just finished installing updates from microsoft and restarted my computer, it boots to a blank windows 7 screen without my username and a moveable mouse, i also ran diagnostics everything passed,,and it wont let me boot to safe mode, i press f8 and it just trys to boot like normal
From Windows 7 logon screen how to run screen saver slide show. Try the hack here but it didn't work I have a lab of 30 systems and try it again on another two systems but it didn't work. I'm runing Windows 7 64Bit.
So I was looking around the internet trying to customize my logon screen for win7. I was able to change the background but I've no clue how to get rid of the icon. Is there anyway to make it so there's just a place to type a password and no icon above it? Been poking around for awhile and I can't seem to find any info on it.
OK A few days ago my computer kept freezing and I rebooted it 7 times to finally get it working. I removed about 40Gb of crap (mainly files) that were still present on my machine. Last night it happened again and I did the same. Only this time when I log in to my account I can't do anything. There's no desktop. Just a curser. Nothing else.
The first time I just used CTRL+ALT+DEL and closed dwm.exe which I guess restarted itself because I could use the desktop freely again. The same incident happened again this morning however I cannot access the security screen via CTRL+ALT+DEL.
I am able to run everything in safe mode so it's not a core issue (I hope). I was able to activate the Hidden Admin however the same problem persists across both accounts.
I am working on a Dell Inspiron laptop (model 1750) that boots fine to safe mode however, when i boot to regular mode the screen starts to flicker at the logon screen. No visible buttons are available to select the user. I have tried startup repair, uninstalled video drivers and scanned for and removed malware. The machine is running Win 7 SP 1(64 bit).
I am running Windows7 Ultimate 32bit for almost 1 year.But now for approx one month i am having a problem and the problem is that when I enter the password at login screen the welcome screen appears for at least 30 second and after desktop appeared, the icons appear after 5-6seconds.I have applied all the fixes from Microsoft and also searched the internet but none of them solved my problem.I also uninstalled unnecessary programs, disabled startup programs, turned off Aero but none of them work too.
Here is list of programs installed on my PC: [URL]
I recently just battled the virus Win32:Small-NNE [trj] from the Anti-Phishing Domain Adviser program that was installed, without my knowledge. Now that it is removed and I am declared virus free by Avast, Malwarebyes and Spybot Search and Destroy I started my computer up in normal mode. However, after logging in it is just black with a white cursor. I have two monitors, but in case it matters there is only one cursor and it can move to either screen. I cannot access crtl + alt + del for the task manager and it just sits and sits. I didn't have the patience to wait more than ten minutes because I know its not supposed to do that. Prior to the virus issue it booted in less than thrity seconds all the way to my desktop. Oh, and the time from log-in to supposed desktop screen is longer than usual but still not more than a minute or two. is this repairable or did the virus do permanent damage to my pc? If it is, please please instruct me on how to fix it, since it does still run in safe mode.
I tried to edit windowssystem32authui.dll - UIFILE with Restorator to customize my windows 7 logon screen.What I want to do is to move the user icon, user name and also the password editor to bottomleft of the screen. I found it uses layout and layoutpos to decide where a element should be put. But I don't know how do functions like "filllayout, flowlayout(0,2,0,2)" work.
I have been looking for a way to change the logon screen to more of a classic windows look, without success. Then the other day I saw this image on a blog: [URL]. That is basically what I would like to have. DSurely that is a modified logon screen? It does say "Copyright 2008 Microsoft...", so maybe this is from one of the earlier builds of 7?
I am using win7 professional 64-bit os. It takes about 8-seconds to come for logon screen. Whether below mentioned procedure is suitable for the solution of slow startup:
1. Click on the Start orb, enter "regedit", and press the "Return" key. 2. Go to the following "folder" (also known as "keys" in Windows registry slang): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem 3. If you see an entry called "DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout" on the right-hand side of the folder, move on to the next step. Otherwise, you need to create the entry. To do that, right-click on a free space in the folder, and select "New/DWORD (32-bit) Value". Type in "DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout", and press "Return". 4. Double-click on the entry. Now all you need to do is to enter the number 5, and click "OK".

yesterday when i was making log out from my computer, there is no log out screen!! just black screen and mouse cursor, and when i did restart again , no logon screen appears or no any thing in screen , just black screen and mouse cursor too.I was tried every thing and no difference :safe modestartup repairrestore to some point (i dont have a point)upgrade windows or reinstall iti think the things maybe was made this poblem are :i was edited userinit.exe value from registry by deleting the comma from the end of its value. i used Windows 7 manager to make some clean and fixes some things on computer.
I have a Dell inspiron 1545 with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I recently reinstalled AutoCAD 2012 Student Edition on my system (I had this installed earlier but I'd uninstalled some of its components).
Since reinstalling, the Windows Logon screen takes around 3 minutes to appear after the Windows logo disappears after booting. The only thing on the screen is the cursor. Pressing ctrl + alt + del does nothing. I can only move the arrow cursor around for 3 minutes.
Restoring the system to a point before I'd reinstalled AutoCAD fixes the problem, but reinstalling it brings the problem up again.
Upon booting the machine it just shows the background and the mouse cursor. Tried it in safe mode and i get the same issue. I also tried startup repair same issue. Machine came pre installed with 7.
I there a way to change the location of the password box on the Windows 7 logon ScreenI managed to remove the Picture Frame on the login screen using instruction found on this forum months ago, but now, I am an assassin's creed fan, and I have changed the background screen to the Assassin's Creed Logo and would like to move the "password input box" down so that It does not end up n the middle logo.
My father's girlfriend is giving this Toshiba laptop to my father, and I'm charged with setting this up.Starting off, the only (non-Guest) account has been:
[HerName] Administrator
I created:
[HisName] Adminsitrator
So when you boot up Windows 7, it lands here:
[HerName] [HisName] Administrator Adminstrator
1) To put [HisName] first, on the left?or better yet, 2) Remove [HerName] from the logon screen, keeping the account so it can be switched to?
I've had windows 7 ultimate 64bits for a year now on my brand new pc, and today he starts and slowly ... around 35 mins to show desktop and will take forever if i click anything. I restarted in safe mode and it works perfectly, there are no exclamation points on the device manager. The only major change i have done but not recently was my video card from Nvidia to raddeon saphire.
I was handed a computer to try and clean up yesterday. It is an 2 GHZ AMD 64 bit CPU running windows 7 64-bit with a whole 1 GB of ram. Yes I said 1 GB of ram, I cringed too. I've got the owner convinced to upgrade that to 4GB and he's gonna go with a dual core processor while he's at it which should make a ton of difference.In any case, on to the problem. The windows install was pretty bogged down, somewhere around 80 running processes and no free physical memory. The machine actually booted to the desktop fairly quickly but wouldn't respond to anything due to all the running processes. I went through the task manager and killed enough tasks that I could navigate. I ran ccleaner on it to clear some junk. I went through the startup processes and cleared all the non-essentials. I went into the add-remove programs and removed the junk. I ran ccleaner again and cleared up the remnants and even ran the registry cleaner. I ran malwarebytes and an AVG virus scan and was actually surprised to find the system very clean. It's whole problem seemed to be an absurd amount of "legit" startup items. After I got it all cleaned up to around 40 running processes I defragmented the drive using defraggler and manually bumped the size of the swap file up to 1.5x ram.
The system is now running great, well as great as it can with only 1 GB of ram. All except for one problem.... when the machine boots up it comes to the screen where you can select a user, I select the user and then it hangs on the welcome screen for as much as 20 minutes before it goes on. It didn't take more than 20 minutes to boot before I started!How can it possibly be booting slower now with an optimized drive, larger swap file, and 0 extra components running at startup?
yesterday I was using my computer and it was working fine. I turned it off (like I do every night before bed). And when I turned it on again today it got stuck at the Welcome screen. I thought that maybe it was just a one time problem (most of my computer problems are) so I shut if off manually using the power button and the booted it back up again but it got stuck at the welcome screen again. So it is off now. This computer is homebuilt and it is almost 1 year old.

If I use Remote Desktop to access a Windows 7 system. End RDP, and then return to log on locally the welcome screen hangs. Making a reboot necessary. Re-trying the RDP session also does not work, with a long error message starting:-
"The task you are trying to do can't be completed..."
I am trying to fix my girlfriend's computer, which freezes on the windows log-on screen. (I am accessing these forums from my computer.)If I input her password in quickly, then it freezes with "Welcome" in the center of the screen and "Windows 7 Home Premium" at the bottom.If I am slow inputting her password, then it freezes before I get a chance to input the password.After a few minutes, the computer shuts down. When I boot it up, it says something about the computer overheating.I have tried a few things like system repair, etc, but not in any sort of rigorous way (and honestly, I don't remember which ones I have tried so I wouldn't mind starting from scratch, step-by-steph.
My windows 7 hangs up after logging in. In safe mode with networking, it is running perfectly. I have had this problem intermittantly, and the last times I got a message that my video driver as stopped working and is recovering. My computer would work fine for about a month or so and then it would happen. I have downloaded latest drivers from nVidia, and have also disabled everything except Microsft items on Startup.The errors I get in the event log is as follows :DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments "" in order to run the server:{7D096C5F-AC08-4F1F-BEB7-5C22C517CE39}DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service ShellHWDetection with arguments "" in order to run the server:{DD522ACC-F821-461A-A407-50B198B896DC}DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}The driver detected a controller error on DeviceHarddisk3DR3.The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:

I performed a clean boot by disabling everything except microsoft stuff at startup. The item I eliminated was adobe reader speed launcher. I can not see it in my programs or features so I can uninstall it. With it disabled..my computer stopped hanging.
I've got new pc with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. It sometimes hangs on shutdown screen. And then I hold power button (I don't have reset button on my new case) and see BSOD.
I have a problem with Windows 7. I restarted the computer to finish installing updates, and when the welcome screen came up, the computer gets stuck there. I tried restarting the computer again, and it did the same thing. This started happening after installing updates. Safe mode works fine so I don't know what to do.
I've just did a clean install of Windows 7 to my SSD 2 weeks ago.
Recently, abut 4-5 times a week, my computer will hang at the Windws 7 logo screen. the part where the logo glows but it stops there. I tried the startup repair after I forceshut the computer, but no results.
I tried sfc / scannow but there's nothing wrong. I read that doing chkdsk on a SSD has no effect right ?
