Windows 8.1 Problem - Blank Screen after Login but Cursor Works and Limited Functionality

I have a Sony Vaio All in One Touch Screen. It is running Windows 8.1 and today I can't get to the Desktop or see the normal windows Metro interface. I get a black screen and I can move the cursor around,  using various keys I can get Task Manager and
Explorer and some limited help functions up, but not the standard Windows Desktop or Metro interface.  Any thoughts?

Hi  MrBradyBunch,
The situation you descripted should be related to a service or software conflict, as well as a hardware driver problem, to confirm this, try to boot your computer in safe mode, Safe mode Starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
if the problem disappear, indeed, this should be caused by a service a hardware driver, you can log on in normal mode and perform a clean boot to fix this:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
2. Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
The detailed steps can be found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as possible causes, you shoud turn to the computer vendor where you purchased the computer for harware support.

    Hi ALL,
    We are using SAP BPC 10.0 Web Client with Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.214 with IE 9.0 on Windows 7.0.
    We face strange error where on only on certain PC, the BPC web client working.. On other getting Blank/Blank Screen after login (with "movie not loaded" on the adobe flash player).. Both PCs are having the same setting.
    Even one of PC which previously working, starting this week suddenly getting the same error.. I have created OSS message and got feedback with also share this problem on this forum.
    I have done several actions as mentioned on several SAP notes )1624267, 1664889, 1681147, 1694871, 1752971, 1798336, 1804221, 1806371, 1811218, 1820505, 1918631, 1968584), but still no luck..
    If you have the same issue, kindly share..
    Thanks and regards,
    Hery

    Yes .. Compatibility View also checked.. in several PCs, it is working well. both failed and working PCs have the same setting.
    Just found another weird: in one working PC, 2 different windows local-admin users login to the same PC for BPC-web and getting different result (1 Ok ; 1 failed) ..seems it is related with the user profile and login-domain servers (we have multiple login-domain servers with load balancing mechanism).
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi.
    After the newest version of firefox the browser only show a blank screen after doing the login on all Juniper SRX devices.
    Some one who can help me here?

  • Login Problem:  Blank screen after the login window?

    I have a user who has a 2008 MacBook Pro 15" Intel laptop running 10.5.4. It is bound to AD, with managed mobile account on the laptop (cached user credentials). The user is off the LAN right now on a road trip and is having problems logging into the laptop. When she logs in with her user ID and password, the login window takes a long time (15 minutes!) to authenticate her, and then when the login window finally goes away and the user's profile starts to load (expecting to see the Finder, Dock, menu bar UI etc), nothing happens - the screen sits at the default desktop picture and the user's account never loads.
    Her AD password has not expired. She is a local admin on the laptop too.
    Other local user accounts can log into the laptop without problems.
    I have 100+ other identical users who dont have this problem.
    I assume that a user-specific file has been corrupted. Any guess on which ones?

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blank screen after login listener hung

    I have installed the apex listener 2.0.0, standalone, apex 4.2. I start the listener, browse to localhost:8080/apex and the login screen appears. I fill in internal/admin/password, hit enter, and the screen goes blank. It is subsequently non-responsive.
    This is repeatable.
    any suggestions?
    windows server 2008, rdbms 10.2.0.4. java 1.6_38 and also tried with 1.7. tried with firefox and chrome.
    previously tried with glassfish, but now uninstalled it to isolate problem at the basics

    No you should not need to setup any routes, can you try the following:
    +/apex/ (note trailing slash)+
    +/apex/f?p=4550:1+
    did that, same blank screen (note that I DO get one first screen, the login screen, but after that, nothing)
    Can you post the full http response (use Firebug etc to get this) so I can see the HTTP headers and the response body. Can you view source on the returned response to see if it has any content.
    From firebug:

    I assume your db is configured as follows:

    conf folder contains:

    conf/apex.xml
    conf/apex_al.xml
    conf/apex_rt.xml
    apex.xml db.username = APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    apex_al.xml db.username = APEX_LISTENER
    apex_rt.xml db.username = APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER
    Correct.
    You are not seeing any log messages about connections not being correctly configured.
    If any of the above assumptions are not correct, please let me know how your environment differs
    nothing comes out in the listener log/screen even though I have turned on all the logging/debugging parameters.
    I get no clues whatsoever from this dreaded listener. horrible thing to work with.

  • Blank Screen after Login

    I am having an issue with an iMac that has OS X 10.5.8 installed.
    Immediately after login I get a blank wallpapered screen (wallpaper is the same as wallpaper at login) w\ cursor. ...It never goes into the desktop where there is a taskbar and desktop icons. This started happening to a couple of my desktops after I installed ESET NOD32 4.0.12 for Mac (AntiVirus).
    Has anyone else seen this issue or know of a fix.

    You will have to see if you can start the computer via other means,
    in that if you can start in SafeBoot mode, you may be able to be rid
    of that anti-virus software. That likely is the problem's main cause.
    SafeBoot mode: restart, hold Shift key, until you get log-in screen;
    login to get to desktop. From here, you can do a few things, but the
    computer is not running at full system usefulness. You may be able
    to remove this AV software, or see if it has an Uninstaller; and also
    you can repair disk permissions in Disk Utility. Among other tasks.
    When done, restart normally. (You could also boot from install disc
    and use the menu options to run Disk Utility, and other jobs.)
    If the product did not come with an Uninstaller in its software, you
    may have to try & remove it by other means. These things will put
    more into the computer's OS than just an item in the Utilities or
    Applications folder; so an Uninstaller is likely a necessity. There
    are a few shareware and free ware uninstallers, such as AppDelete
    available online as downloads. If you can't find an Uninstaller in the
    software you installed (may be in the app's folder in Mac) you may
    have to contact the products customer support and ask how you
    are to remove the entire product and its parts from your Mac.
    If you are lucky, they may actually know where you could go in and
    carefully remove those bits; and luckier still, if there is an uninstaller.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Satellite M50 - Blank screen after login on Win 8.1

    Satellite M50 running Win 8.1
    After login, get blank screen mouse but nothing else.
    Can run Explorer.exe manually via Task manager to get going but some apps such as Acrobat and Windows Mail don't work.
    I've searched online and tried all sorts of the suggested fixes to no avail.
    Any suggestions gratefully received!

    I don't know what is wrong there but you can try to shut down Win8 completely and check repair options. Try with system restore and roll back OS few days back. Maybe this will help.

  • Solaris x86 on a mac, blank screen after miniroot but NOT when console=ttya

    I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 update7 on a Mac Mini.
    It hangs with a blank screen right after loading the miniroot, before the "Configuring devices..." part.
    I can't even see the miniroot loading completion (the hex addresses displayed when miniroot is loaded)... it
    clears the screen and just hangs there.
    But...
    By trials and errors I discovered that if I use the ttya or ttyb console setting when booting, it does NOT hang!
    It proceeds further, and prompts for type of installation and then for language. Unfortunately, since Mac Mini does not
    have any serial port, I can't proceed with the installation since if I use console=ttya I can't use the keyboard anymore.
    I ran the sun tool to check for hardware compliancy and it passed.
    I think there must be something odd with the graphic card probe, what else could change when I boot with "console=ttya"
    beside that? Is there a way to bypass the check for the graphic card when booting? I don't want to use it, either... I would
    use the mac mini as a server, I wish I could remove the graphic card but it's embedded in the motherboard :-)
    I do not have boot camp installed on this Mac. Could that make any difference?
    I also tried to fire up opensolaris and that one works without problems, but I want Solaris 10 not opensolaris...
    Any hint is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance...
    Rick

    Hi Rick,
    Like you, I have been trying to install Solaris10u7 on my 13" white Macbook. I got the same errors. Solaris10u6 used to work on this same machine, except for the lack of audio driver support.
    I tried to connect a USB keyboard, but the same problem persist. Adding "console=text" or "console=keyboard" to the GRUB startup parameters did not help. But it does look like a console detection problem. Hopefully, there is a workaround. I'll check this forum post again to see if anyone comes up with a workable solution. I also prefer to have Solaris proper, not Opensolaris.
    _After-thought_: Perhaps I'll just follow the developments on SXCE until 'Solaris 11' is released next year (hopefully sooner than expected). Older versions of SXCE did work well on the Macbook, though not the recent ones.

  • Problems with Windows 8.1 Updates - Black Screen after login

    Dear All,
    I have a HP Pavilion g6 (SKU is D0Y12EA#ABU) and it's been running Windows 8.1 64bit without any trouble ... until recently.
    On the last two occasions that I've done a Windows Update, something has caused the laptop to stop booting correctly. I get the logon screen but once I input the password, it gives me a black screen and a mouse cursor. I'm able to boot into Safe Mode and I've tried updating the Intel Graphics drivers but it doesn't help. The only recourse I end up having is to roll back to a Restore Point and prevent Windows Update from running.
    Does anyone know if there is a specific update that is causing this? If so, can I get the KB number so that I can stop it from installing?
    Regards,
    Gareth

    For Intel GraphicsOnly
    I have a DV7-7133nr to which I have modified to SSDs, 16 Gig of Ram and Windows 8.1. I too had the black screen of death for a long time and have read many forums, and nothing worked until my last attempt. I am an Intel Channel Member and Partner and a Microsoft Partner, and this has fixed the problem, but it only applies to boards running the Intel Graphics 4000 video.
    1. Go to Hp's website and make sure you have the latest bios update. I did, so at boot up, I held the f10 and reset the bios to default settings, hit f10 and saved.
    2. When booted into windows, I went to the Intel website, support, drivers, and searched for the Graphics 4000 driver. Their driver was later than Hp's so I downloaded it to my desktop. I then uninstalled the hp driver through the Device Manager and removed everything, and rebooted the computer. That gave me back the Microsoft basic video driver. I then installed the Intel driver I downloaded, and not only did it removethe Microsoft basic Driver, but it installed correctly and gave me a control panel for the driver.
    3. Since then, about 2 weeks ago, I have not had a black screen since.  The HP Driver is out of date for Windows 8.1, but this DV7 has been the best laptop I have ever owned.
     Good Luck Dale

    Hi,
    According your post, I understand that open EMS with error “AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed” after fresh install Exchange 2013.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Please follow below steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Reboot the server, usually fixes this error.
    2. Make sure your authentication settings on your virtual directory for PowerShell is correct.
       Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, <Servername>, Sites, Default Web Site, PowerShell and in the right panel, scroll down to the Authentication module, then make sure that Anonymous access is disabled and Windows Authentication is
    enabled.
    3. Double check the configuration of HTTP binding on Default Web Site in Internet Information Services (IIS).
    4. Run Get-User Identity | FL *power* to check whether the current logged in user has remote powershell enabled.
    If the issue persists, please try to remove the PowerShell virtual directory and renew for testing.

  • My iphone 5 screen is black but touch works and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do?

    and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?

    Hello Dopeslayer242,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
