Windows xp stops on welcome screen

when restarting my new S9E netbook windows stops on the welcome screen. I then have to use the shutdown to physically restart , this someimes needs to be done twice. I am running XP Sp. Any ideas?

Hi, are you shure that you dont intermitted the recover procedure...
severel restarts looks like windows is ready, but isnt ...its in self reinstall all things automatic, drivers and so on...
you have to wait ....till the microsoft XP music starts and waiting for the first input by user...
if you dont intermitted ,
at normal case rescue & recover set all drivers ...thats what it work for...no manual driver settings...
in that case
must be an hardware failure...(harddrive or memory can caused this)
best ...call for service or
where you bought it...for change or repair..

Can't open web pdf document: Adobe Reader 10 stops at welcome screen

I installed Adobe Reader X.
Now, when I open a pdf file from the web, the browser (either Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox) downloads the file and opens Adobe X.
Funny, I thought. Up to this date (using Adobe 9) the browser opened the file into a browser window, using the plugin.
Of course, I went into Reader Edit/Preferences/Internet and checked the "Display PDF in browser" to no avail: instead of opening the pdf inside the browser, the browser launches the Reader X program.
However, after downloading the pdf and opening Reader X, you find a nice gorram welcome screen.
As there is no way to close that screen (you have to choose one of the documents opened in the past or pick a document from the disk), Adobe Reader will not open the file I just picked in the browser. It just sits there waiting for me to pick one of the options of this welcoming screen.
Of course, the page with the files I'm trying to download uses an script or something similar to load them, so I cannot right click on any of the files to download them to a folder and then open them using Reader's "Open file" option.
The file I'm trying to open is this one: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRTRV19.pdf
The page where the file resides is this one: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRTRV19&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=man uals#/manualsTab
So, how in heaven do I open this file from my browser? (as I said, Opera, Chrome and Firefox all display the same behaviour. I haven't tried IE and I refuse to do it).
To be sincere, in Firefox the file opened once. I read the first pages and then I made the mistake of indicating to the browser that it should use the Adobe X to open pdf files. (Firefox "offered" that option out of its "own free will").
Now I have the same problem in Firefox: I see a nice blue bar that indicates the percentage of the file downloaded and, when it reaches 100%, Adobe opens and "freezes" the browser, because Reader sits there at the welcome screen and the browser is waiting for the file to open.
Of course, the help for plug ins at Firefox and Opera (I haven't checked Chrome) says simply: download Adobe Reader and that's it.
I frankly hate this behaviour: up to this date Reader has been the source of simplicity, the example of a software that does only what it was made to do, sitting quietly in my PC, churning pdf files without the slightest complain, a veritable jewel among poorly designed software.
As this unclosable welcome screen seems to me a blatant attempt by Adobe to undercut the many web sites that offer to translate PDFs to Word documents, my only thoughts are: thanks, people at Adobe! You have managed to break the unbreakable.
Can anyone help me? This day has been a nice one up to this moment...

Please let me know the following details:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
     a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
     b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
     c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.

Windows 7 Hangs After Welcome Screen

About five months ago the workstations in our network started stalling at the Welcome Screen. Our fix is to restore back to the most recent restore point. This has worked (KOW) without incident. After reading many posts about the subject, and implementing
others fixes, we are still without resolution. A bit of background info, (more at the end of this post) the network has five W7ProSP1 64bit workstations. There is a 2003 R2 server used for file sharing only. This network has been running without issue for
almost two years. We've turned off MS updates. Ensured MS Defender is not installed. A new switch was installed to test the problem without success. And the most "thrilling" part of this problem is that it is intermittent amongst the workstations.
All are shutdown every night. Yet only a few will encounter the Welcome Screen Stall at the start of any day. Sometimes a week will go by without event for a few. There has been no changes to the PC's or their software. Users have been practicing safe-internet
browsing habits.
Using Dell Optiplex workstations and Poweredge T410 server on a wired network. Avast Pro anti-virus as local installation.
Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Hi,
This is an intermittent situation, in this case, there will be error log generated at the event log, First I suggest to check the event log with the event viewer in this way
and post the error log for troubleshooting:
Open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking
Event Viewer the go to the Windows logs, then systems.

On start up stops at Welcome screen

Members,
I have a Lenovo 3000 G530 model 4446 25u, It keeps stoping at the welcome screen. I have to use the lenovo care button
enter then hit the restart, after about 4 or 5 tries it will load windows. I have the Intel display driver version 6.14.10.4977.
I have the veraface turned off.

Any ideas on how I can correct this problem?

Windows 7 hangs at welcome screen on iMac

I have installed windows 7 on my iMac using bootcamp. The windows installation went smoothly. after installing the bootcamp drivers the windows started freezing on the welcome screen.
I did dome research online and figured out the problem, its the bootcamp which starts up o the Windows load. Please help me how to over come this issue.

you can start with getting the graphic driver from the vendor, there is trouble with using Intel 3000 and seems like the Mini have more trouble than others - they all have some trouble - and uninstall Apple gpu drivers - with Driver Sweeper 3.2+ (not older) and CCleaner (clean Registry).
You should be using Lion Boot Camp Assistant and BC 4.01+ drivers with any 2011 model (or later) too.

Customize Welcome Screen for Windows 7

Scenario
Windows 7 displays the Welcome screen which contains a list of available user accounts when the computer is a part of a workgroup or homegroup.
This article describes how to customize Welcome screen for Windows 7, and there are two display style for choice:
Logon screen
Last logon user and others
Summary
Method 1: Logon Screen
The Logon screen requires users to type a logon name rather than selecting an account from a list of available accounts.
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Optionss;
Double-Click the policy Interactive logon: Do not display last user name, click
Enabled, and then click OK;
Click Start, and type cmd in the Search box. Right-click
cmd.exe in the Programs list, and then click
Run as administrator. Type gpupdate /force and press
Enter to refresh the Group Policy.
After logging off or switching user, the customized welcome screen will be as shown below.
Method 2: Last logon user and others
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. Check the security setting
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name to be disabled.
Click Start, and type regedit in the Search to
launch Registry Editor;
Locate to keyHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList;
Right-click on ProfileList, then click New>Key, name it
.default.
Restart you PC or refresh Registry Editor by pressing F5.
After logging off or switching user, the customized welcome screen will be as shown below:
Applies to
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 SP1 Professional
Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Another customization:
To give your logon screen corporate design or individual style you can follow these steps:
In registry editor navigate to the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background".
Create a new DWORD value OEMBackground and assign value 1. (Value 0 resets to the original logon screen.)
In C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info create the folder backgrounds, if it does not exist.
Put your custom picture into this folder under the name backgroundDefault.jpg.
Attention: maximum supported file size is 256 KByte, so shrink them with a tool like Irfanview or Image Resizer Powertoy Clone.
If you want to use different pictures for different screen resolutions, you can do so by naming them backgroundXXXXxYYYY.jpg, i.e. background1920x1200.jpg for the resolution 1920 x 1200. If the resolution does not match any of the given file names, Windows
will fall back to backgroundDefault.jpg.
Best greetings from Germany

S10E freezes at the "Welcome" screen

Hello,
I bought a S10e a couple of days ago. The programs I installed were by no means exotic - AVG (I gave Norton a try and then removed it using Norton Removal Tool before I transferred the AVG Free offline installer from my desktop PC), Open Office, WavePad and PhotoFiltre. I noticed that windows hangs at the welcome screen from time to time and so I used the recovery program to reset everything. On the fresh copy of XP I installed AVG, MS Office, Demon tools lite and WavePad. The hangs continued I have no idea why... The only thing that comes to my mind is the fact that I don't have a wireless connection at the moment so there can be some kind of problem with some program's updater (and namely AVG's).
Any thoughts how to solve this?
P.S. I saw this thread but I think that this can be a different issue as far as the recovery program didn't help
P.P.S. Sorry for my Engrish

Thanks!
Today I had enough time (and access to the university's wi-fi ) to do some tests. I came to the conclusion that AVG's updater was causing the trouble. I installed Avira and now the computer seems to work fine (more than dozen restarts and no hangs so far). It's a pity for AVG (one of the best free AV solutions around), but I guess the current build causes problems on IdeaPad systems without active Internet connection. Hopefully the guys @ Grisoft will have this issue fixed as soon as possible.

Stop installing Tiger before the Welcome screen appears

I would like to give my Mac away as a gift to a newbie and consider it nice to give him a Mac that feels like being delivered from the factory.
This means: I would like him to see the welcome screen first (the one where all the Welcomes in hundred different languages appear immediately after you power up your Mac for the first time ever).
Unfortunately, after following the usual process of starting from recovery disk, erasing the Hard Drive and installing the OS it starts this screen automatically. I do not see a way to stop it or make sure that it appears again upon next power up of the Mac. On the contrary: You must enter your personal settings immediately.
I read something about this years ago and think I remember it was a UNIX-Code which had to be entered. But even if so: Where can I enter? I cannot open Terminal in this stage?
Power Mac G5 2x 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Casual User, but my first Mac is still here: The 128k from 1985

@Steve:
The good news: I do not have to be ashamed of myself.
The bad news: No, you cannot go up to Setup Assistent menu bar.
After the installing process is finished the Mac runs into the described "Welcome" windows and asks for registration and setup of an administrator account. There is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid that. There is no menu bar, no button, no nothing.
All the good advices here and elsewhere are talking of entering commands or starting in single-user mode or other, but you simply cannot go into anything. Even the keyboard shortcuts (cmd-alt-esc, etc.) do not work.
I have found a workaround which I really hesitated to use but it obviously works: During the floating around of the "Welcome" logos I pushed the On-Off switch for 8 seconds thereby killing the Mac. After a restart it starts exactly with the "Welcome" window and asks for registration. But this is really not a nice way to treat a Mac.
Thank you anyway.

Windows 7 SP1 - Event 7011 - Timeout gpsvc service - welcome screen randomly hangs for 30 to 90 minutes.

We rolled out Windows 7 x32 to 1200+ computers and are having random issues with extremely long login times. Most of the time users can log into the network without issues but I typically have several computers each week that hang at the
welcome screen. In every instance I receive the following errors. The number of errors is directly related to the amount of time it takes for the computer to log the user in which makes since with the 30 second timeout.

This morning the tech coordinator was stuck at the welcome screen for 30 minutes with 17 of the above messages until we forced the computer off and logged in successfully. We rebooted immediately after logging into the computer and logged in a third
time without any issues. I also checked the logs and didn't see or have any issues with the 2nd and 3rd login attempts. The group policy client service also started successfully about 1 minute before the first error on the first attempt.
I also went through the Applications and Services Logs>Microsoft>Windows>GroupPolicy>Operational logs but didn't see any issues. Here is the last entry in the log file until the reboot. All 17 messages didn't generate any information
in the GroupPolicy logs.

Other Information
1. Server OS - Windows 2008 R2 servers. ~20 servers with 7 DC's.
2. Windows OS - Windows 7 x32 SP1 workstation. ~1200
3. This happens on wireless and wired connections.
4. This happens across all hardware and models of laptops and desktops. Ranging from GX270 - Opti 760, Latitude D510 - Latitude E6410, Latitude 2100 - Latitude 2120's and all models in between.
5. We are currently using SCCM 2012 to deploy images and applications. The image was created through SCCM using Build and Capture so I never touched the image.
6. The drivers were downloaded from Dell but this is happening on multiple machines so I don't think its driver related.
7. We are using Forefront Antivirus.
8. We upgraded the machines to 2Gig of ram and upgraded them from XP to Windows 7 this summer.
9. We upgraded the servers from Windows 2003 R2 to Windows 2008 R2 this summer just before deploying Windows 7.
10. This is only reported through the helpdesk on less than 10 computers each week but I'm told it happens more frequently when I'm in the buildings.
11. We are using Group Policies to manage almost all aspects of the computer except for printers. The printer drivers we are using are so slow that it added 60 to 180 seconds to the login time so I moved the printer mapping to a vbscript that
is launched through the logon script through a GPO.
Users are holding the power button in to shut down the machine as they can typically log in a second time without issues. I have heard that a few people have issues logging into the computer the second time but it's normally running by the
time I heard about it.
Are there any other logs that I can look at to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks for taking the time to read this issue.

Hmmm hard to say. If I was going to take a stab at it you might be hitting a DC in a remote site.

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

Please allow us to disable the Welcome Screen in Acrobat X for Windows!

When another program launches a .pdf and it calls Acrobat X Pro to load, the welcome screen hangs everything up. If it's an option for Mac OS, it should be for Windows too. If there is a registry key or the likes that I can modify, by all means, please tell me!

Where are you trying to access your iCloud account, and from what device?
If you are trying to access your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com/ from an iOS device, you can't. The iCloud.com website is not designed to be accessed from iOS devices - access it on your Mac.
Your Time Machine and WD external backups and Carbon Copy backups are nothing to do with iCloud, so I don't know what you think accessing iCloud will achieve in your situation anyay.

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.
