Windows Desktop Will Not Load
Jan 11, 2012
Whenever I start,it does the usual windows sign,but then its black screen.I can hear starting music but a black screen.My login is set to auto,so no point showing the login screen as well.
Last night it was working perfect,have not done anything unusual,not downloaded any software or torrent,yet the problem is here.Mind you I am writing this on safe mode..seems as though it loads perfectly well on safe mode.
I did the windows repair thingy,but still black screen and no background music this time.

On the Win7 (64-Bit) I notice lately that the desktop icons are slow to display. They start with 'white boxes' and then slowly they fill-in with the correct icon.I tried the following, and now the icons show right away, but then the screen blinks (for lack of a better word) and the icons show as 'white boxes' and then in a second or two they return to the regular (colored) icons. Anything else I can do to make the icons appear as fast as they did orginally and stay that way rather than turning "white" and then changing back to the regular colored icons?
1. Close all folder windows that are currently open.
2. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
3. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
4. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
5. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run...)
6. Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
7. In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
CD /d %userprofile%AppDataLocal
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT
8. In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run...)
9. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK. =====================
After the icons show the first time (when computer is turned on), I notice the MSE icnon in lower right has a red X on top of it and when the X goes away (in a sec or so) the icons turn white and then in a second go back to their ususal color. If I click on the MSE icon (with the red cross on it) the MSE will open and in RED it states "Real Time Protection is Not Turned On." And then in a second or two the Red Cross goes away and the the wording turns Green. I think there might be something wrong with the MSE or it does NOT work well with Win 7 64 Bit. Maybe I should do a System Restore, to remove MSE and get back AVG?

I've just recently bought a new PC, and 2 weeks later I'm having issues with it already. [code] So anyways, everything worked like a charm first week or so. I was well impressed. Then I had some issues with my 5.1 surround system; after trying everything possible software-wise, I got talked into re-installing Windows 7 to fix the sound problem I was having with the speakers. Foolish decision it turned out to be, not only it didn't help me solve the sound problem, but now I can't even install Catalyst Drivers anymore.after I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (all clean and proper of course), and applied all the updates/fixes through Windows Update Action Center etc - I need to install AMD Catalyst Control Center in order to make my graphics show up on device manager/work. When I install it, and it asks for restart after (so it can complete the install and apply it), my Windows won't load proper. Firstly a black screen appears shortly (intead of standard "Welcome" screen), and then few moments later desktop appears with no taskbar or any icons on it. I'm not even able to opet task manager or anything, my whole computer seems to freeze up.
I have tried installing graphics drivers from the original disc I received with my card, I've tried downloading it manually (and through the Windows Update as well); no matter what way I install it, after the reboot my desktop won't load, my Windows doesn't start proper.I have installed 3 different versions of Windows 7 Ultimate ever since, I've tried pretty much everything that crossed my mind and I'm still rather clueless about the whole thing. Does anyone know what the problem might be, and/or how can it be fixed? I can't play a single game meanwhile, matter a fact I can't even get my graphics to show up under device manager (until I install AMD CCC).

I left my laptop on while away for a couple of hours. I returned and was greeted with a black screen but the laptop was whirring away as if it was working as normal. I had no choice but to do a hard shut down. I started the laptop again and was directed to Start Up Repair. I ran this to no effect at all and I got stuck in the 'Start Up Repair Loop', which I managed to resolve using the great tutorial on this website. However, another problem has occurred. When Windows loaded it brought me to my log in screen but my User Profile Name was missing. The password box was there and I managed to log on to my desktop. However, the taskbar loads but does not work, the desktop clock is missing and the icons on my desktop exist but do not load, nor do they have any titles. The Windows key does not pop up the start menu, so I had to do Ctrl Alt Delete to perform a shut down. I tried rebooting but the same thing happened. I tried booting in safe mode and this did not work either.

I have a relatively new Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit install. This is a domain account, so I have to do ctrl+alt+del to login. After entering my password, the welcome notice comes up (with the spinning circle), and it takes quite a while for the desktop to appear. It can be as long as a couple of minutes. This is a pretty fast rig (i5 2500K/GA-Z68X-UD3H/F312800CL8D-8GBXM) and when I first set it up it, my desktop appeared about 10 seconds after hitting the power button, including login.
Is the use of the domain account the likely cause of the delay, or could this be something else like automatic update? I'm not sure how I would go about finding out.

I'm having a problem with my screensaver and I don't know why I can't get it to load. I had it working just fine until I accidentally changed the theme of the desktop. I changed it and it went to some high contrast theme but I changed it back soon after. I noticed when I went back to my original theme, the screensaver was set to none. I left it alone and it never went to screensaver like it was suppose to.
I tried changing the settings to see if that would work but it refuses to move from none. The window will let me set the screensaver but the overall theme still says none on theme. No matter which theme I set it to now. The registry still has screensaver enabled, all permissions are properly set and double checked, there are no wireless mouses or keyboards that are hooked up to my computer. Its windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I have an MSI Laptop which I bought about a year ago was running fine and at the beginning of September started having the issue of a black screen, for about 45-60 seconds, between the windows logo and the desktop loading.
The laptop has:
Intel Core i7 460M Processor 2.53Ghz
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
4G DDR3 memory
Nvidia GeForce GT 540M
15.6" 1366x768 HD
Intel® HD Graphic VGA
[code].....
The above 3 files exist in the directories asked for so not sure why it can't load them.Although the laptop works fine when it's loaded, the additional time on this blackscreen is just winding me up as it didn't do it before.

I dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.

Why all desktop icons appear in the Desktop folder but not on the desktop itself?I set my desktop to show the Recicle Bin icon only, but if I open the Desktop folder in Explorer they are all there: Computer, Control Panel, Libraries, Network, User's Files, and Recycle Bin.

my daughter has a two year old Toshiba Satellite laptop, AMD, Windows 7 64 bit. (I don't know all the specs to her machine) Windows will not load.Gives me two options at start up, normal or Repair start up, I have tried.both, normal brings me back to the same menu, so then I check repair, itruns through to the windows loading, then goes to a blank screen with the cursor.When she got this pc I created 4 recovery discs from the start menu the.4th one I have labelled Recovery Environment 64 bit. Can anyone guide me here?If her hard drive was fried would I still get the Windows starting up menu?I have never tried to repair a laptop, have done it a quite few times on my.desktops, but am at a loss since there are no messages at all during start up.Okay, I have tried using the disks, the first one seemed to run through,then I had to shut system off and put the 2 and 3rd recovery disk in, but this is part of the message I received when I tried to run those disks.Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 002)This product is covered by on or more of the following.PXE Rom the same message seemed to fill the screen - looks to me a failed drive?How do I check that? When I went into the Bios it seemed surprisingly limited (sparse) , not sure if it said hard drive or not Can I fix this without taking it to a shop? and if I had to buy another HD.for the laptop is the Windows 7 OS on those 4 recovery discs I made or will I have to buy another licence?

I am about to buy a new desktop and notice that most of them now come with Windows 7 Home Premium. I was wondering if it's possible to load Windows 7 Pro? My CD of 7 pro is 32 bit version. Will it be compatible with a 64 bit machine?

I have tried 5 times to load Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and each time it fails. I have made sure there is enough disk space, updated the drivers & run cCleaner registry check - all to no avail.I have also explored the Microsoft suggestions for the failure to load. It would appear that it might be caused by the Background Intelligent Transfer Service as this doesn't start. It won't start if you access it manually through the control panel either.

I'm in the process of acquiring the parts to build a new PC and was kicking around the idea of how I want to load windows 7, my programs and files and such? I was thinking about buying two different hard drives, one smaller one (250GB or smaller) and one bigger (maybe 2TB). I would use the smaller hard drive to only load the operating system on and the other hard drive would be used to load all my programs, files, emails and such on.I'm thinking that by having the OS only on one drive it would be easier to recover from should I have another hard drive failure on the drive the OS is loaded on. Same for the programs, files etc.. should that disk develop a problem down the road it would make it much easier to recover from if everything was on a separate disk than the OS?I eventually plan on building a small server for my home network that would be used to run a network that consists of 1 server, 2 Pc's , 1 laptop, 2 Netbooks, several smart phones and 1 centralized laser printer that everyone can print from.

cant get windows to load normally, nor in safe mode and i cant even get into system restore, it loads then there is a quick blue screen and then restarts on its own.... i have a 1TB HD in 4 partitions i can only see the C drive listed and it says 132 out of 931 free which makes sense with all the data on all 4 parts......i took the HD and used an enclosure but the i cant get the D to recognize anywhere......i was thinking maybe using the Combo fix on the boot up might work??

I was turning on my laptop but realised i had to be somewhere else at that time and needed to leave so in a silly rush i just as it was loading i held the power button so it shut down (I know that is a terrible thing to do but was in a rush and wasnt thinking clearly) and now when i turn it on it load but it gets the screen that is all black with only the mouse cursor showing and stops there and does not load to the log in screen. Anyway to fix this without a fresh install as i have documents on there i really cant afford to lose.

I just changed my CMOS Battery and put the date and time back in the BIOS and now when i get past the POST screen it goes to a "A recent hardware has been changed, click on diagnostic and fix" something like that. so i did that and it goes and checks and comes back saying failed. now i try just clicking on "Start Windows Manually" and the windows 7 icon pops up with 2 little dots then freezes and reboots my pc back to the BIOS. i did a diagnostic from the BIOS and it says my Memory and hard drive is OK.

My friends laptop wont load windows normally, but i am able to get into Safe Mode.Laptop Specs:Dell Insperion M5030AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core Processor 2.29GHZ3.00GBWindows 7 Home Premium, 64-BitI have ran scans using Malwarebyes, SuperAnti Spyware, and the free version of Kaspersky, with 160 days left of activation.Scans pulled up a lot of adware cookies that i have since removed.The issue is that i am unable to get the system to load normally. I have been able to get it to load, but the computer goes into an intense think period, which causes me to force turn the computer off. Other times, i am able to type password in to log on, but the system screen remains blank and i have to force turn off the computer.What scan logs may i provide to help with this issue?NOTE: There is no recovery partition, and due to no free CD's at the time, there was no recovery disk made for the laptop.

Here is what happened:
1. I plugged the wire in my laptop(ASUS K40IJ) for some electricity
2. Without pressing the power button it suddenly turned on! Something was wrong at that time and it asked me to do something about the CMOS or something and I have noticed the time and date were jammed. But I proceeded.
3. I loaded my Windows 7 but there were problems regarding my dropbox(it had problems connecting to the website), on my google chrome( it could not load images). So I have decided to restart and see if it would fix the problem.
4. When I tried to run it again the system crashes(I couldnt even read the error) and restarts whenever I am in the "Starting Windows" screen.
5. I have tried almost all of the repairs offered by the OS except the command prompt part since I do not know how to use it.
6. Now I am stuck using my UBUNTU 11.10. It is working perfectly well until I saw that my chromium here was affected (It is not recording history but other than that it is working perfectly well)
Is it Hardware or Software?
