Boot Screen Reverts To The Old Vista Style Green Bar
I, too am missing the WIndows 7 "Starting Windows" Orb boot screen. My system has reverted to the old vista style green bar. I have tried the bcdedit command multiple times, but to no avail.
My Monitor is a 27" LCDHD connected using component cables. I've also tried DVI, but that didn't change anything. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can correct this?

Boot Screen Reverted To Low Resolution Green Bar
 I resized a couple of my partitions, so I had to rebuild my BCD. No problems there. However, when I log into Win 7 now, the animated high resolution boot screen reverted to the low res green bar with Microsoft Corp underneath. I am stumped as to how to reenable the high res boot screen. - first rebuilt the BCD entirely using the DVD: no joy - used bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot from DVD: no effect - The NoGui flag in msconfig is not set (toggled it, when ticked there is no gui :P, unticking it again yielded the low res screen again)  Anyone here have more ideas on this?

Reverts To Win Vista Boot Screen
I just went through a lot of trouble to get Windows XP, Windows 7 and Grub2 (for all my Linux distros) working together. In order to do so, I followed this post on the Ubuntu forums. The part that concerns Windows 7 is Step 2. I ran all the commands and was able to get all of the OSes working together, but now Windows 7 is using Vista's ugly green scrolling bar as the boot screen. I've tried Code: bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US and Code: bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US Neither worked. I'd rather avoid doing a clean install, if possible.

64-bit Upgrade Fails - Blue Screen Of Death Then Reverts Back To VISTA
I am trying to upgrade my VISTA 64-bit utlimate to Windows 7 64-bit ultimate, and at the last stage of installing settings and device drivers a BSOD appears and then it reverts back to my previous OS. After the re-boot my RAID 1 states my raid needs a verify and when vista has booted the raid starts to be repaired. This takes about 4 hours, but I can still use my files. I have tried to search for similar problems but to no avail! Can anyone help? Has anyone had the same problem!Is it worth upgrading to Windows 7! I am happy with VISTA and it seems a lot of hassle!

My Computer Folder Hangs With Green Bar And Will Not Display Any Folders
I now have this problem on no less that 3 PC's with the W7 Evaluation 7100 build. Spontaneously and at random times, explorer just hangs when trying to access the 'Computer' section to display my local and remote drives. It has completely destroyed any hope I had of W7 actually being better than any other windows product, and makes working impossible without having to reboot every 30 mins. I have updated ALL my drivers and even my PC that's only been built 3 days has this problem. I know all about msconfig and selecting selective start up and disabling all programs, sure this works for a while - but sooner or later it just hangs again. It also behaves itself under a normal 'all programs enabled' start up for random amounts of time, before it decides to lock me out of my drive locations (and eventually it crashes explorer that needs to be forced to close and restarted). The really annoying thing, and the thing that suggest to me that's it's an OS issue is that windows explorer if perfectly accessible through every single installed program - even when the explorer 'computer' window is hanging. Just open the 'open file' tab of any program and all drives under 'computer' are perfectly accessible and functional. Any ideas?

Boot Screens - Vista Bar
I have installed 7 on my desktop. When i boot i get that new funky glowing logo. which is nice. Now, when i install it on my acer one netbook i get the old drab vista bar. Now would i be right in assuming that its something to do with the graphics card on the machines? If not can anyone point me in the right direction. Its not a problem to me im just curious as to why its done that.

Blue Screen And Green Bars
I keep getting blue screen and green bars every once in a while. The blue screen could happen at anytime, then whole system would reboot, giving you the famous 4 options, starting windows in "safe mode", safe mode +xxx... or normally. The 'stop working' green bar could pop up at anytime while I am working with my Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge or using my Internet explorer. It starts getting very annoying especially when I am working.

Upgraded Vista Ultimate To Win7 Ultimate RTM Ok, But Boot Screen Is Still Vista's
I got my copy of Win & Ultimate and a legal key from TechNet, did an upgrade of my Vista Ultimate computer. All went well and other than my new copy of Norton Internet Security 2009 not working (long story for another thread). The problem I'm having is that the boot screen (Starting Windows with the 4 colored balls and the windows logo) did not change, I still have the old Vista one with the boring green progress bar. I never dual booted this system and I have tried the fixes out on the net - using an administrator command prompt to send: bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US or bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US Neither one worked. This is not a fatal flaw, but it is annoying in an otherwise perfect upgrade. Is there a registry setting I can change or another fix to try for this? It used to be easy to change the boot screen in XP and not too hard in Vista, how do I get my correct boot screen back in Windows 7?

Bld7000 Has Vista Boot Screen
I have installed Windows 7 build 7000 in a couple of PCs , everything fine. I have installed it on a netbook (LG X110, its the same with MSI WIND U100), and upon boot, the boot screen is the old Vista animated boot screen, with the green bar loader at the bottom. No new Windows 7 boot screen. I guess it has to do with the screen size of LG X110 (10") which also causes screen detection issues in other OS's (e.g. Backtrack 3), but is there an option where I can FORCE the resolution/screen size so that it will show the correct boot screen?

Boot Screen Reverted To Vista After Repair
I had Grub and Kubuntu, then was done with linux for the time being, so i cleared the partition that it was on, and when i restarted grub was giving an error etc, so all i could find was my vista 64 cd, and after some reading on MS support pages, being that they used the same loader to fix it with that dvd. So i ran this in the cmd prompt: bcdedit /export c:BCD_Backup attrib bcd -s -h -r ren c:ootcd bcd.old bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot and everything was dandy, it fixed the loader.... but put the vista boot screen(the simplistic screen with the loading bar) so i go access to my windows 7 iso, burned it, and re did the same process (but used the repair option first cuz it asked me and i figured it would be easier) and then ran the same commands to hopefully refresh the loader w/ the possibly newer windows 7 one(mainly for the boot logo) but its still showing the old vista logo i know this seems silly but how can i fix it back to the newer windows 7 one?

Title Bar Positioned Off The Screen
When using multiple monitors, I often get problems with windows being positioned such that the title bar is off the top of the screen so you can't drag the window back in to play. I've used multiple monitors on many different PCs since 1999 and always had this problem - though it definitely seems to be exacerbated now by the fact that I hibernate the laptop when moving it between home and work, and my secondary monitors at home and work are different resolutions.

Right Side Of Screen Is Cut Off (black Bar)
I installed Windows 7 and have a little problem with the screen. My monitor doesn't display the whole screen, it gets cut off on the right side. I tried to strech it horizontaly through the controls on my monitors, but it's not that, it's still cut off. Updated to latest video drivers (I have a 9800GT) and that's not it either, tried with diffrent resolutions, but whichever resolution I change to the right side is still cut off. The funny thing is when I make a screenshot (with print screen) and paste into paint the image is whole, it shows the part that I don't see on my monitor. Under this is a link to a screenshot of my desktop, I drawn a black line for ilustration so you can see which part is cut off, the right side of the line doesnt display on the pc. If someone has a solution for this please write. My monitor is Hyundai Q770 (CRT), and the GPU is Gygabite 9800GT.

Black Screen - No Start Bar - No Icons
First I have read someone comments about issues regarding missing Start Bar issue however this one seems to be a little more challenging. I have been using Window 7 RC for approximately 6 weeks and everything was working (generally speaking very good). However, yesterday upon power-up I log on as usually and after the login I have a black screen, period. No Start Bar, No desktop icons, No Sidebar, just a black screen. Mouse right click does nothing, Ctrl Alt and Delete brings up Task Manager and from there I can run all programs without problems. This issue occur both in the Admin Account and the Guest Account. I can open the sidebar and then see the Icons however on a re-start I'm back to the black screen same issues. I have done another install of Windows 7 RC yesterday and again the same issues occur. I have completely Virus checked and Malware checking the machine prior to yesterday's install and found nothing abnormal. Whereas I have two montiors I 've checked out whether it maybe defaulted to the 2nd - Not - Re installed the Windows Graphic Drivers as well. I also tried system Restore before I re-installed windows 7 same result with the black screen.

Black Menu Bar In Full Screen
I have a strange problem with the Windows 7 themes. When I use F11 to make an explorer window (both ie and file explorer), the top menu bar (or maybe title bar) becomes black. This does not happen with Firefox or if I change the theme to Windows Classic or Windows 7 Basic. I've looked for help everywhere, but not been able to find any. This is really annoying! I'll attach a screen shot to visualize my problem. Has anybody else experienced this behavior?

Network Discovery Reverts Off Automatically
I am running Windows 7 RC on one of my desktops connected to a wireless network containing a couple of XP machines and a couple of Vista machines. The XP and Vista units can see each and access each others shared folders and media without an issue. My Windows 7 unit appears in the network window on the other machines but attempting to access it returns the message: "Windows cannot access (computer name)" All computers have the same workgroup name. Opening the Network window on the Windows 7 machine, I can see the two Vista laptops but the same error message is given when trying to access them. I know this is a common problem and there are many threads relating to it, however the solution posted for most is to make sure Network Discovery is turned on. I have the network type set as Home in Windows 7 and I am able to go to advanced sharing settings and turn Network Discovery on, however it automatically turns itself off again as soon as I close the window! I just realized that I can actually access the shared media library of my Vista laptop via Media Player on the Windows 7 machine, while still not being able to access the Vista laptop any other way...

Task Bar On Top, Start Menu Is Always Full Screen Height
I prefer my Task Bar across the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom. I also like it to autohide. This is my preference. This seems to work okay but for one thing. When I click the Start button the start menu expands to the full height of the screen, making the thing I'm most likely to want to click on ("All Programs") as far away from my mouse as is possible! I've been told by various fanboys not to crave the Classic start menu any more, as clearly I am a dinosaur for wanting that. Fair enough, I'm trying to use what's given to me by Windows 7. Is there a setting or trick that will allow my Start menu to be only as high as it needs to be? Even if it's only half the height of the screen that will be a relief. And don't say I should move my Task Bar to the bottom, that's not gonna happen.
