Black screen startup repair, Windows 7 cursor

After installation of about 25 updated today, my Windows 7 Ultimate Boot Camp partition on my 9.1 iMac no longer boot Windows. I think there could be a problem due to a video card driver updated, although I have no way of knowing if a driver has been updated.

I use the Startup Repair tool, but I have a black screen with no cursor. I got the text screen to enter the startup as well as the Windows logo for a short period after this repair. When I put my ear close to the computer, I could hear the disk being accessible so I guess the Startup Repair did something, but now when I listen to it I can hear the fans. I started about 90 minutes ago the Startup Repair.

My question is how can I find out when the Startup Repair tool is completed? Will it automatically reboot the machine, or wait for the user to input after it ended? Use mouse input any required or can I do blindly using the keyboard?

Also, is it possible I could get Windows starts in Mode safe? This way I could isolate any problem with the video card drivers. There is no option to start in Safe Mode, when I turned on the machine. Note that because I use a Mac, I don't have the BIOS screens, I UEFI which, on Mac, gives only a choice of which partition to boot from.

I need is no longer an answer for this.

Here's what I did:

I turned off the computer using the switch after 2.5 hours of startup repair and checking that I could not even hear the disk being accessed... Windows would not start again. I started in El Capitan (Mac OS X) and installed the rEFInd Boot Manager. I rebooted the machine, intending to try to fix it from a floppy disk, bootable USB Win 7 Ultimate, but selected by mistake partition Boot Camp and Windows started normally.

The only thing I can think of that changed is that I installed rEFInd, but I don't know why, it would make a difference.

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

    I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

    I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

    Apparently, this driver is a printer driver? I don't have a printer, but do not know how to disable it without access to windows.

    I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

    My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

    I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

  • Windows startup at black screen after the Windows logo

    Original title: Evga Nvidia GeForce GT 520 1GB black screen graphics card

    I have a Hp Pavilion 6400 in the series which ran on Windows Vista (32 bit). I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) and now the screen goes black once the windows logo closed its animation. I uninstalled the driver, re the driver installed and configured my system to the lowest resolution.

    Already found in the forums.
    -TV is too old to be compatible.
    EVGA - technician told me that the food was not powerful enough.
    -Forum Windows says: error in Explorer.exe.
    -Also found response that runs the computer through MSconfig would solve the problem.
    So far, none of these solutions have worked. Answers appreciated.

    Problem solved.

    It turns out, the driver for the video card would never completely install due to its mode of operation.
    Solution.
    1 restart Windows "low resolution".
    2. access to the form of previously downloaded files driver install the EVGA site while in safe mode.
    3. once divers have installed I changed the resolution in a HD rather than a framework
    "(native)" parameter in the resolution section.
    4. application of the Windows updates.

  • Black screen after the windows login

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion DV7 notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it. A problem I've noticed is that, once I connect to windows during a boot, the screen is black for about 1-2 minutes. After awhile, explorer.exe would with desktop, taskbar and icons. I am concerned about this 1 to 2 minutes of black screen after the boot as it did not exist previously. I know I have options such as restoring the computer laptop back to the default state, or by using the system restore. However, I don't want to lose all my stuff, and with respect to the restoration of the system, I'm not sure when the problem happening, as it was some time ago. I have read a Microsoft article, (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/why-is-my-screen-black-when-i-start-windows-7) and tried all the steps with the graphics card and the regestry, but nothing seems to work.

    -Task Manager is able to open when the screen is black (shows explorer.exe running)

    -J' have the drivers on the HP support site

    -laptop is HP Pavilion DV7 3024ca

    You will need to login using the method of trial and error. Please uncheck all of the MSCONFIG Startup tab and restart the system. If the black screen issue is resolved, then check out an application every time and restart the system. This will help you to identify the program interfere.

  • Black screen T400 with windows xp

    a friend of mine gave me his Lenovo T400 to install Windows XP on it

    He previously worked fine with windows 7 and 8.1

    then it starts in preinstallation of windows XP screen, it formats the hard drive and as usual instalation automatically restarts after this BUT his black screen, lights and sounds show that it works and goes to the next screen BUT the screen is still black. Put power off then turn on again does not display any image of the screen. Open he removed the battery of the Bios, turned upward after a few pennies and turned off it starts it reset the bios.

    So now it has photo and it goes on the next screen Windows instalation as usual, after the installation of devices and other things, it restarts automatically as usual BUT there is NO new screen, black screen, lights and sounds new show that its loading windows end instalation screen, but no image on the screen.

    Reset the BIOS again, it starts normally, and this time shows BSoD with code 0x7B, after once again the BSOD screen black

    Maybe it's a setting in the BIOS? tried to install with the AHCI drivers and tried to install without driver for Compatible, what else is there? Updated the bios to the latest version, same result.

    To say again - it works very well with other windows, but XP should be installed

    There is a manual for installing XP on these laptops, I have not read, sorry

    so the black screen is because of the switchable graphics option in the Bios that is not supported by XP

    It works fine now after a whole an integrated and disabled for OS detection framework

    Hi @vikash4309 ,

    At this point I agree with the tech that look at the computer I think it's a problem with the hard drive or even the system board. They may give falsely on the test results. I would recommend that you take it back to this HP's Service Center.

    If you do not replace the hard drive recovery CDs should work as long as replace you it with another hard drive and not an SSD because they are different and the recovery CD will know how to properly partition the drive.
