Windows 8.1 Black Screen with Cursor

After Windows restarted and before the desktop shows up, the screen shows only movable cursor. if I attempt to click Ctrl+Alt+Del, there will be no response. The issue was with a driver installation, I believed it was a registry issue, then I used
DllTool to fix. I started Windows in Safe Mode but the result was the same. The drive where Windows installed is locked and I can not use System Restore or start-up repair. When it attempt to repair it says "The Drive where Windows is Installed is Locked"
and When it attempt to Restore System it says "You must enable system protection on this drive".
Any ideas?

Hi,
This might be caused by the DllTool. Some system files might be changed so the OS considered the system drive is not available.
Please use your Windows 8.1 disk to enter start-up repair, check if it could work in this way.
Best regards

  • Trying to reformat and reinstall windows but get black screen with cursor

    Im trying to reformat my computer after a blue screen error and when i pop in my disk to reformat and install it goes through the first stuff...opening files then it says starting windows and then black screen with cursor..nothing else..i can move the
    cursor but i cant click anything..nothing happens.

    Hi  Marrik,
    Is there any error code or error message displayed in the installation process ? because just based on your description in the post, it is difficult to find the root cause for a black screen even after a clean install, this might be caused by a corrupt installation
    media or a hardware issue, so, I give two potential suggestion:
    1.Try another Windows installation media and perform a clean install again to  see the result.
    2.Go to the computer vendor for hardware support, this also can be caused by a memory or hard disk issue.

  • Can't boot to windows, stuck at black screen (with cursor)

    Hi! I'll get straight to my problem: I can't boot to Windows (Windows 10 Technical Preview) anymore after installing VirtualBox (or rather, an Android emulator that installed VirtualBox) on my system. I get stuck, after the loading animation with the blue HP logo, on a black screen (I can move my cursor around) but the login screen never shows up.
    The problem.
    I'm currently dual-booting linux and windows for several purposes. My laptop came with a Windows 8.1 OS by default. Some time after the Windows 10 Tech Preview came out to public, I upgraded my system to Windows 10 (so my 8.1 is gone now). Everything's going well until I installed this Android emulator (which installed VirtualBox) on Windows 10. Everything seemed fine at first but after rebooting, Windows isn't working anymore. I can still boot to linux, but Windows just won't boot properly.
    What I've tried.
    I've tried A LOT of things. The problem actually happened twice already (at first I was able to fix it with System Restore but not this time around). I have a Windows 8 USB Recovery Drive at hand, just so I can access a Windows command line. It's not from my system, though. It came with a new windows 8 laptop of a friend so I just borrowed it.
    1: System Restore. This worked the first time. But now the restore won't finish and throws an error, telling me that it can't restore my system.
    2: Refresh PC. "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made." or something like that.
    3: chkdsk on C:\. It says it changed some files, but it doesn't really fix the problem.
    4: sfc /scannow. Again, something happened, but it didn't get fixed.
    5: bootrec.exe to fix BCD and MBR. Doesn't work. (as far as I know my sytem is using GPT)
    6: Hard reset (remove all power sources then hold power button). Still not working.
    7: System Restore again. All the restore points aren't working. It reaches a "Finished" state, but then an error comes up after. It says can't extract a specific file, and the restore point is damaged or might have been deleted during restore.
    8: checking and fixing bad sectors (nope, no bad sectors on my hard drive)
    9: built-in component tests. It passed all of them, except the battery test (my battery really isn't surviving for any duration longer than 30 minutes, but that shouldn't affect my OS). I didn't try the really long tests since I thought it wouldn't matter as my problem is most probably completely software (since linux is still working).
    10: cry. oh please. Windows isn't working. What should I do? (
    Things I haven't tried.
    1: RAM and CMOS battery reset.
    2: Reset PC.
    3: Format hard drive.
    4: Test hard drive on another laptop's system.
    If possible I'd like to avoid getting my hard drive wiped, since I have a lot of stuff to backup (more than 300 GB of files + dozens of linux apps and ppas), and I only have a 32GB USB drive to backup all the files I need).
    Thanks for reading.

    Sorry for the delay. Wasn't expecting the "road work" signs when attempting to check back with you in the AM here.
    As others have already mentioned, the prompt for file systems occurs during text mode setup. Quick or Full? FAT or NTFS? How do you know what to do?
    We'll start with file systems, short and sweet. Most any OS can read and write FAT volumes without fail which makes FAT ultra-portable, and the only choice if you want to let Mac OS write documents on your Windows volume. It's also more efficient on drives of 16 GB or less. However, FAT has no folder-level access control, so any file in the system can be manipulated by any user or by any system process. By contrast, NTFS is far more restrictive. It can only be manipulated under Windows, though other systems may be able to read it. Not only do you get the access control that FAT lacks, but you also get superior efficiency on large volumes, plus the power to compress or encrypt folders and files at will (in "business" flavors of Windows only--and yes, Vista Ultimate counts as "business" even though it will be supported much like a "consumer" version).
    On format speeds: A quick format is very handy if you have a large partition or a single drive completely dedicated to Windows. Because it completes in 30 seconds or less, it will go a long way toward completing your Windows install. However, in some cases, volumes formatted with a quick format may have reliability issues. They must have fixed this in Vista, because Vista can only format at the "quick" speed.
    A full format tests all blocks of a given volume (as opposed to testing an entire disk unless the volume itself is the entire disk) as the file system structure is laid down. Bad blocks are marked as "used" when they are found. This type of format takes much longer as a result of all the testing, but the result is a more stable volume from the start.
    Get past the formatting stage, and you'll be right as rain.

    The first time i installed windows seven i did not have this problem... i already deleted  the partition several times and installed windows again, but the black screen problem is still happening. i don't know what do
    You guys have any tips? anyone with the same problem?? this ***** a lot. thanks

  • I have macbook pro 13.3 inch. I am installing window 7 in boot camp manager after copying file of window upto 67% it doesn't response and i had forcely shotdown my macbook. Now my macbook doesn't open and stop in black screen with cursor blinking.

    At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
    NOTE:
    Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

  • Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

    Hello fellow techs,
    I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
    About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
    issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
    the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
    decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
    up, it went passed the windows loading
    splash screen, and again the screen is black with
    the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
    I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
    the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
    exact same results.
    I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
    Google but no change.
    From other machines you can type \\servername in
    the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
    This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
    by tomorrow.
    I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
    as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc  /scannow
    command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
    Sfc
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
    Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
    The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
    In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

  • Black Screen with Cursor (Tried most solutions)

    To save your time and mine, I’ve tried all options in “press f8” and “recovery disk”. Over the past 3 days, I read almost all threads, videos, articles, and official MS help containing any mention of this problem. I also applied many commands, created few
    “SystemRescue CDs” and “Kaspersky Rescue 10” on a usb drive. I follow instructions very well, and have never been stumped by a windows problem like this before. If someone solves this, you are a wizard!
    Nothing has worked so far, but I really want to figure this out and not ‘reinstall’. It appears to be a simple and popular problem: “Right after Win 7 boot Logo, I get black screen with white mouse cursor,
    no matter if I boot in safe mode, last good configuration, or normal startup”, but all the solutions that worked for most people are not working for me.
    TL;DR: (answers to any of the 7 questions in the end will help me out)
    Custom System: Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD, no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed
    on this computer. Never dual booted.
    Mobo: Asus Maximus Formula. GPU: AMD HD7870LE
    2014-04-19
    I haven’t installed or downloaded any programs in the past 3 weeks, and did not notice anything unusual up until this incident.
    In the morning the computer went into hibernation because I was away, it couldn’t wake up (usually happens), so I turned off the power supply. Turned it back on, and computer resumed, I was concerned as it may have run out of hard drive space on my 64GB
    SSD (4GB free), but it booted fine.
    Later during the day, I decided to restart the computer, and as it booted up again, it went into “start up repair”. I let it run and restart, and it arrived at the dreaded Black screen with mouse cursor, of death, right before logon screen.
    Symptoms while on this black screen.
    Ctrl alt del doesn’t work, power off doesn’t work, cursor can move, pressing ‘shift’ many times doesn’t bring up the ‘sticky key’. No task manager.
    Hard drive is not loading anything, just idle.
    Computer falls asleep after 15 minutes or so, and can wake up back to this black screen, so it remembers my power settings
    Safe mode loads the drivers fine, but also gets stuck on the same ‘black screen with cursor’ forever
    I tried every option in the ‘advanced boot’, including ‘safe with command prompt, safe with networking, last known configuration, etc’
    Last known configuration, and all of the above, all boots to ‘black screen with cursor’, this means windows believed it booted fine the last time, so it remembered this configuration. That’s because all the drivers loaded without issue. While loading
    Safe Mode, I can see windows loading all the drivers ok.
    No restore or backups (I know, I do not deserve to live, lesson learned)
    I tried all applicable functions from the ‘recovery cd command prompt’, bcdedit, bootrec, diskpart, and still couldn’t get it to boot.
    Commands applied in Elevated Command Prompt from Installation DVD: (very careful with backups and overwriting)
    Diskpart -> list volume, tells me that 100mb is system reserved, the other 59GB has no label, and is a different partition
    Bootrec -> scanos, tells me that I have 0 windows installations, used fixboot, /fixmbr, /rebuildmbr, all successful. Mounting the drive later on RescueDisk’s TestDisk shows no problems with either partition.
    BCDedit: shows both boot manager and winloader to be on the same drive, and I referenced it with a typical BCDedit enum output, and nothing is out of place.
    I went into Regedit by typing “regedit” in command prompt in Win7 recovery cd, and confimed that ‘Shell=explorer.exe’ under:
    HKEY_local machine/software/microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/winlogon.
    Sfc /scannow couldn’t run due to “Pending repairs/restart”
    So I used: SFC.EXE /scannow /offbootdir=c:\  /offwindir=c:\windows
    Which ran and repaired some errors the first time. I ran it more just to make sure, with restarts in between, it gave me
    Win resource protection did not find any integrity violations.
    So the system files appears to be fine and not corrupted.
    Bootrec /scanos does not detect any windows installations. “0 Windows installations identified”, yet “Diskpart -> Detail Disk” and bcdedit both detects the windows directory.
    From windows recovery disk:
    Startup Repair diagnosis: (Show Details)
    All tests completed successfully
    Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully
    It seems that the system and the OS boots successfully, and windows believes it boots successfully (that’s why last know good configuration gives me the black screen also, and Win Startup Diagnosis all says it booted successfully”
    It’s the second before it enters into the logon screen, the black screen and movable cursor appears, and hangs here forever. What programs load during this step, and how can I find out this info? Is there a diagnosis tool that allows me to see the programs
    as they load during windows start up?
    Other attempts:
    Then I read it could be windows using “winresume.exe” instead of winloader.exe, since I have “hiberfil.sys” in C:\windows, so I backed it up and deleted it using SystemRescue.
    Another thread said “winevt” bad logs, in C:\windows\system32\winevt were causing this black screen, so I backed it up and deleted that also, and it still won’t boot.
    I plugged in the devices that were attached (just 1 ext hard drive, through a 10 port usb hub) that was connected while it went into hibernation on April 19th, and it didn’t help.
    The files on that disk and the file system is not corrupt; I tested it by taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine. The Sfc Scan also shows that it is ok.
    I also unplugged all the other sata drives, switched the SSD sata cable around to other sata ports to no prevail.
    So far I know:
    Very unlikely that it’s a virus problem, I haven’t installed or downloaded anything this month, scans from Kaspersky 10 rescue disk shows nothing, Farbar scan shows nothing. I also never install anything suspicious, like toolbars or junk. I scan regularily.
    Not a driver problem, since I haven’t changed or updated anything. I unplugged all devices, and starting in 640x480 mode also gives the black screen with cursor. Drivers all loaded fine while starting windows and safe mode
    Boot files are intact, windows system files are in the right place since windows actually boots into a shell? Both bootloader and boot manager show up in bcdedit enum scans
    Not due to system file corruption, since file integrity are confirmed ok by above CMD commands, and windows diagnostic tool, and testdisk.
    My questions:
    What could be the cause of this? I didn’t make any changes to BIOS, windows settings, perform any updates, suspicious activities, installations, or crashes, before this. The files on that disk and the file system are not corrupt either, I tested it by
    taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine.
    Which program (classpnp.sys? explorer.exe? winlogon.exe?) is being loaded right before “windows logon screen” that would cause it to hang with a black background and cursor?
    How can I find out this information? Is there a tool that can record all programs that are being loaded by windows at boot?
    I only have access to regedit, elevated command prompt, and I can change files through SystemRescue or Kaspersky recue, how can I get the computer to boot past that black screen with a mouse cursor? The answer seems so close.
    From the Rescue Disks, what could I really do to get past the black screen?
    Those who are computer technicians could tell me: If I take it to a computer shop or technician, what could they do in a situation like this aside from all of the above? Do they have some ‘next level’ access tools or are they just going to waste my time
    and tell me I have to reinstall?
    At the very worst, I will obviously reintall. On my 64gb SSD, I didn’t install any important softwares. All my important software installations are on a separate drive. However, will they still work if I did a ‘Inplace Upgrade’ install of windows? Does
    registry get wiped?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to take startup repair when booting with the rescue disk?
    Startup Repair
    And we'd better bring the PC to the vendors, then take an examination of the hardware health.
    How does the Bootrec /scanos show 0 installation identified? We may take a try with chkdsk from command line to check if there are any disk errors:
    Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors
    Please also take a check if the system reserved partition is stay in health:
    Understand (and Get Rid of) the Mysterious Small Partition
    Another shoot, please try to rebuild BCD:
    Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues

    Did you read his post at all as it does not look like it.
    As to take it to a vendor "Custom System:"" Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD,
    no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed on this computer. Never dual booted."
    As to your other suggestions he has tried them all as have thousands of us out here , all you have to do is search the internet  and you see millions of hits about this.

  • Windows xp install -- black screen with no cursor

    I've seen a number of posts about Boot Camp installation problems involving a black screen with a blinking cursor, but my problem is simply with a black screen. On my MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo (graphics card: ATY,RadeonX1600) I'm able to partition the HD, but then after I'm prompted in Boot Camp to insert the Windows XP install disk, the computer attempts to restart and install, but after a flash of grey screen, the screen goes totally black, and eventually the optical drive powers down (after whirring for a while) -- no cursor, no nothing. I've tried a number of suggestions I've seen elsewhere: my firmware seems up-to-date (at least that's what I'm told when I try to run both EFI and SMC firmware updates); the Windows XP is a brand-new, single-disk, SP2 install disk; I've tried holding down the option key upon reboot and selecting windows start-up. I've used Parallels with no problem under 10.4.X, but recently upgraded to 10.5.2, and thought I'd try a Boot Camp installation for better access to peripherals. Any suggestions?

    Hello to all and it wanted to request aid to them on this subject, days ago I acquired a Imac 24"2.4GHZ Aluminum (generation previous to the last ones sent for a month),then it is that I have years with my macbook pro and always I have used bootcamp since was beta in Tiger, so installation experience I believe that I have a little.
    The problem is that in it is new machine I have partition my disc with the assistant without no problem, but when it is going to install Windows XP or Vista (the 2 I have them original) and boot the machine, it remains in gray screen and no nothing happens, reason why boot with option pressed and they leave systems both to me, followed this I select Windows and it is hoisted in the screen that nor the leader of the mouse moves.
    I have made the procedure as 10 times and proven with different sizes from partition (with its respective disc repair with the DVD of Leopard and the disc assistant) and nothing.
    Finally uses WinClone in my macbook pro and clone my partition of Vista Windows, recovers it in the Imac without no problem and it appears to me in startup but the same, I select Windows and there it remains. Fiirmware of the updated machine this and I am in OSX 10.5.3. I have proven everything until changes to the memories and nothing. Them request if somebody has had east problem and to most erudite of the forum I request aid to them to see if they can give me.
    Beforehand a million thanks to all,

  • Windows boots but won't load (Black screen with cursor)

    [Sorry for the long post, but I feel the need to fully explain my situation]
    I have the following problem:
    I turn on my PC, and Windows shows it's normal loading screen, after which it goes into a completely black screen, with just the mouse in the middle. By the cursor size I can tell that it's in a low resolution, probably 800x600 (compared to my usual 1920x1080). I am able to move the mouse around, but with no particular use without something to click on. No other keyboard input seems to work, except for Shift key 5 times, which brings up the Sticky Keys dialog box (with just "Yes" or "No" options, no other link); and Windows key+U which brings up the Ease of Access center. Ctr+Alt+Del does NOT work.
    So far this is what I have tried (in chronological order):
    Boot into Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Booting in low resolution video, Last known good configuration: all yield the same result as booting normally.
    Repair your computer:
    Startup Repair: Found Registry Errors (I realized and fixed this later on)
    System Restore: Did not find any previous restore points (I know for sure that there are, I made a habit of making restore points regularly).
    Windows Memory Diagnostics: Did not find errors.
    Command prompt:
    Ran chkdsk /f /r command, did not report errors.
    Ran sfc /scannow : I don't remember the exact report, but it asked for a restart to finish repairing problems. I restarted, and ran the command again for the same result.
    Forced the scan with: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows , it found and repaired some errors, still could not load windows.
    Ran Dell Startup Diagnostics, found no errors.
    Ran Startup Repair again, found the registry errors again. I found the solution to this in a Microsoft Help forum ( answers.microsoft.com/.../f77d5355-b8be-41d6-af24-cae994e1768f ), and fixed the issue. I rebooted, but the problem persists.
    Startup Repair now finds no errors. I tried System Restore again, it found 2 restore points dated AFTER my problem started. I decided to restore anyways, but neither of them worked.
    I ran Windows Defender Offline:
    Quick Scan: and found 2 threats and removed them.
    Full System Scan: found 4 more threats, removed 2 of them, the other two couldn't be removed because they were within an ISO file.
    I tried Steps 1, 2 and 3 again with no luck.
    With each step I am aware that I'm closer to having to reinstall Windows, so I decided to see if I could still access my HHDD to save my personal files. I made a Linux live CD (with Ubuntu), but I am having trouble mounting the drives, because they are in a RAID0 configuration. "sudo dmraid -s" gives the following error: "ERROR: isw: wrong number of devices in RAID set "isw_dbdffjficc_ARRAY0" [1/2] on /dev/sdb".
    Important Details:
    I changed my graphics card about 4 months ago (an Nvidia GTX 750ti for an ATI Radeon HD 6450), and I was told that I may be running short with the Power Supply. The new card asks for a minimum of 450W and I think my PSU is 460W. This may or may not have something to do with this issue, I have no idea.
    The RAID0 configuration of my 2 500GB Hard Drives brought me a lot of problems from day 1. One of the HDD would randomly fail (I am able to hear a different clicking sound when this happens), and the computer would crash. Upon startup, it would ask for a boot device. The Dell startup utility would then only recognize 1 of the drives, but would finish without errors. After a restart or two, all would be fine and windows would boot normally (aside from the usual error recovery screen) without any sign of corrupted data or anything. Like I said, this has been happening form the day my PC arrived, but restarting a couple of times always fixed it. As of now, both HHDD seem to be working fine, the Dell utility recognizes both of them, and does not find errors in any of them, and I can access any directory from the command prompt.
    Is there anything else I should try before reinstalling Windows?
    Before the install, I would really like to be able to recover my files (I have important documents from college), is there any way to do this?
    Sorry again for the extremely long post (and for any language errors, English is not my native language), and thanks in advance.

    Since you still haven't got your data from the drive(s). I would advise performing a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution but at this stage you have probably tried everything else.
    Use a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD when installing ensure you select...
    Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
    If you do not select any of the drive options and simply highlight the largest partition and select next:
    Windows will dump all the old installation files in the Windows.old folder

  • Desktop stuck at black screen with cursor in normal mode but boots fine in safe mode after updates.

    After running some updates the other night my laptop stopped loading the desktop and just gets stuck at a black screen with a cursor after I log in to the user account. The only thing I can do from there is do ctrl+alt+delete, then log off or restart.
    I can't open up task manager. I tried creating another account in safe mode thinking there was an issue with the account but I still have the same issue. In event viewer I have two warnings one is
    event 6000 winlogon, The winlogon notification subscriber <GP Client> was unable to handle the notification event
    and event 4006, winlogon The windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name. Command line parameters: C:\Windows\system32\userinint.exe.
    As well as error event id 1003, CertificateServicesClient Certificate Services Client failed to invoke the Providers in response to event 512. Error code 2147956401
    and error 1001, certificate services client. certificate services client failed to load provider pautoenr.dll. error code 14001. I checked the registry and the path points to the right directory for userinit. I have tried running
    System Repair but no errors were found, and I ran sfc /scannow and no errors were found either. The computer did not have System Restore enabled and I do not want to restore to factory settings. I also ran registry mechanic and it found no errors. Any suggestions
    besides restoring to factory settings?

    Hi,
    We may try to reinstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for a test.
    In addition, let us perform the following steps.
    1. Click Start, Run, type lusrmgr.msc then ENTER.
    2. Select Groups in the left pane.
    3. Double-click Users in the right pane.
    4. Click Add, and then click Locations. Scroll to the top of the Locations dialog and select the local computer name, then click OK.
    5. In the Enter the object names to select field, type Interactive; Authenticated Users (separated by a semi-colon). Then click OK.
    6. Restart the computer.
    Or we can run the following commands from a command prompt:
    Net localgroup Users Interactive /add 
    Net localgroup Users "Authenticated Users" /add

  • Pavillion dv7 new hard drive goes to black screen with cursor

    A couple weeks ago my computer suddenly started going realy slow so I rebooted, and it wouldnt boot. Just gave me an error in the upper left corner (I dont remember the exact message). Anyway I took it to a family fried who fixes computers he said the hard drive probably had a bad boot sector. We couldnt boot to it, but he could read from it by plugging it into his own computer like an external.
    Anyway we got the new hard drive in (upgraded from 320g to 500g) as well as the old one with the intention of making it a slave drive.  I tried putting in a windows 7 install disk (originally had vista), when I turn it on first I see the hp splash screen, then it says "windows is loading files" and goes to a "windows is starting" splash screen. After that its just a black screen with an arrow cursor and doesnt appear to be doing anything else.
    Any idea what the problem might be? Is it just trying to install to the wrong drive? Or could something more serious be wrong like the processor or motherboard that would mean the whole thing is trash now?

  • Vista Black screen with Cursor after Startup

    Recently, I had a crash in a Skype call with someone, and everything went downhill from there really. I started up my computer again, and I was able to get past the welcome screen, and to a black screen with a cursor. I tried opening up task manager, it
    didn't work at the time, and eventually after my computer freezing up, I shut it off, and this time windows wanted to run check disk. So I let it, I was able to get in this time but I got a blue screen saying REGISTRY_ERROR. I was freaking out badly now, thinking
    my entire system might be corrupted, but I wouldn't give up easily.
    I started it up in safe mode, which surprisingly worked. I had a boost in moral at this point, because all my files also loaded. I started windows normally. I had the black screen thing again, but after a while I had a program pop up. I proceeded to open
    task manager.
    It opened up, and I ended the old explorer process (which was using a very small amount of memory at the time, if that matters at all) and loaded up a new one. This one worked. I am currently posting this on the same computer that has the issue.
    I seen others who had similar issues, but I could open task manager and start up explorer.exe, so I am a special snowflake among these other ones.
    I don't quite know what a good way of going about the issue would be, should I system restore? Is there a problem with the shell? I don't exactly know what I should do, any sort of information should help.
    Some other possibly unrelated things:
    Recently, my driver has been crashing (should I update that, is that the reason this is happening?)
    My files are all intact, I saved important ones. What should I do?

    Nevermind. I took matters into my own hands and it took only a single system restore to fix the issue!
    Crisis averted!

  • [SOLVED]Gnome 3.2 fail - black screen with cursor on login

    I have tried to get gnome 3.2 to work properly for at couple of hours now..
    I get a black screen with a cursor, when i should get the login screen.
      And it just stays there at least for 10 min (tested)
    To log in i have to restart GDM once or twice..
    And then suddenly i get the login screen.. Sometimes rendered correct, other times it is not, but it works ok...
    Once i have logged in there is no problem at all..
    /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log - first attempt is a fail..

    Unfortunately this is not the case for me.  I erased the directory, just in case (perhaps this was stupid), but this does not help easier.  Somehow gnome-settings-daemon is not started, or crashes somewhere on the way.  When I start it manually, then it works.
    I have erased the color plugin (/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libcolor.so) as per advice somewhere else on this forum, but this did not help either.
    Most themes don't work on Gnome 3.2 tough due to an API change. You'll just have to wait for the theme authors to update them.
    I am using the default theme (I believe), so I think this is not the reason in my case .
    EDIT: It was not easy to figure out how to start up gnome-settings-daemon manually. So for the record, I found it in /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon (not in my PATH).

    Since Apple is hyping full screen use, isn't that rather important considering versioning and all.  Am I missing something?
