• X 220 changed for Windows 7 login screen

  My laptop X 220 happened two days ago and the (before going on the desktop) login screen has changed black background with the word THINK of the plain background of Windows 7.

  Within two days I got my computer, I was in love with the black background with the word THINK every time I signed in my computer. Just as I got back I wish. Is it possible to return to this screen?

  Probably you have changed your Windows theme. One option would be to return to theme Thinkpad. Otherwise you could follow this article:

• Windows 7 login screen/box will not open. Only the background and the cursor visible.

  Hello

  I was surfing the net this morning, and in the background, I was installing "Logmein". I guess the site I got it off the coast is legitimate, as many of my friends installed it for playing games on a network. This is the site I downloaded from https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/download.aspx

  While he was installing my laptop froze and ctrl + alt + delete does not work so I turned it off by holding down the power button and transformed then turn it on again.

  It is now charging a screen that says "Windows error recovery" and has an option 'Launch Startup Repair' or 'start windows normally '. What that either an i select the result is the same--a screen that says "windows is loading files...". "followed by a login screen empty with only the cursor for the company, as shown in the image below:

  http://i1101.Photobucket.com/albums/g426/lewistumelty/Windows.jpg

  I have no idea what to do and this is the first real problem that I have not been able to solve in the 2 years Ive had it.

  I tried all the options in the "Advanced Boot Options" (F8 at startup) menu in the hope that something different happen, but every time is the same as the last.

  I am running windows 7 premium x 64 on the Sony Vaio VGN-NW20SF. My laptop came with a disc of windows 7, so I can't reformat. I do not have the back for awhile and there are files, I want to keep if possible.

  Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Hello Lewis Tumelty,.

  LogMeIn replaces the native for Windows login prompt.

  If we are unable to boot into safe mode, we will need to use the repair your computer option command prompt in the F8 menu.

  After this was accomplished, I recommend the following market article, the registry is probably corrupted:

  Note that this article was written for Windows XP, but the steps are the same in Windows 7.

• Is it possible to display a dialog box with the fields/custom controls for the Windows Vista login screen to the top.

  Hello

  In Windows XP (prior to Windows Vista), a Service could be interactive and display a window/dialog on the login screen.

  Of course services are no longer allowed to be interactive, and certainly, I agree that it is an improvement in security.

  However, say if I wanted to do one of the following values, which is possible (and how to implement). I don't mind what language I have to set in.

  (1) add a button in the login screen that says "Reset Password" which will then invite a form with questions of security.

  (2) run an application within the login window

  Really appreciate any help on this matter,

  Mark

• Suddenly blocked on my home Windows Vista login screen. Does not recognize my password.

  I have Windows Vista and last night, while "standby mode", my laptop started a search of self-checking on the MS Dos operating system disk.  When I went to use my laptop, I interrupted the search and then asked if I wanted to take.  Have no real choice to exit the screen MS-DOS - other than to say Yes (because I'm not a techie) I decided to resume.  The search is over and my login screen comes on then.  At this point, I typed my password and now it does not recognise my password!

• New Mail notification to appear in my Windows account login screen, peux I turn this off?

  I started using Thunderbird for my email because I am so sick of "Comcast/Xfinity" unwanted advertising and dumping else on my computer when I just want to make my Comcast email. I've customized email Thunderbird (options, etc.) to display the way I want. However, I use a shared computer I put in place will have to connect to multiple user accounts or the Admin and now T-Bird puts in place a notification on my user account (on the Windows login screen) of new e-mail arriving and how many new emails I have. I don't necessarily want other users to see if I have new messages and the number of new messages I. Is there a way to disable this "feature"? I don't see any option in the tools of T-Bird.

• How can I remove the email notification in the Windows 7 login screen?

  opening start screen

  When I turn on my computer at the beginning to start click on user name in my name says 464 emails unread how rectify this.

  Regards Mike Robson

  Glib answer: read your emails.

  Notification of "unread mail" on the Windows Home screen reflects information from several e-mail applications that can be installed on your computer, including at least, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird's.  Other messaging applications can also contribute to the total.

  If you click on the link, you are supposed to see what e-mail client has how many messages, but I have never actually confirmed this feature.

  See Presentation of the mail notification display on the Windows XP Welcome screen.

  You can completely disable this notification.  The link above the article explains how to change the registry, but the easiest is to download TweakUI for Windows XP.  For some reason, the Microsoft download link for this seems to be non-functional now, but you can get it here--> http://download.cnet.com/Tweak-UI/3000-2072_4-10002117.html

  After you install TweakUI, click on "Login" in the left pane, then "unread mail".

• the Player Windows media, rip a CD takes forever

  When I copy a CD it takes forever. This has changed recently because it was fast. It takes between 15 and 20 minutes to rip a standard CD. It is used to do this in 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version, but it did not help. I am ripping to MP3 format 128. I ran CCleaner and Avast. Any suggestions?

  Hi razorray1,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?
  3. What version of Windows media player installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, consult you are facing similar problem ripping CDs any other size of file and check if that helps.

  Also uninstall any of third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer and check if it helps.

• How to add a clock on the Windows 7 login screen?

  Title says it all.

  If possible, this is my personal preference, the clock is digital and transparant.

  I can't seem to find the post immediately, but I myself remember what an official Microsoft blog already said that they did not want any additional code on the login screen.  In fact, they said, they did not even want to have the accessibility of programs running (Narrator, on-screen keyboard) from there, but they had to add those to ensure legal requirements have been met.  It's also why these programs are limited - any development on those could cause risk to security, given that these applications are allowed to run in the context of the system login screen.

  The message specifically mentioned a clock saying that not even showing the time current system made the short list of things that they would arrive on the login screen.

• White loading bar appears after the splash screen. TAKES FOREVER TO FILL!

  I recently formatted my windows xp because it was slowing down. I do this once a year and its good because my newly formatted computer takes 30 sec or less to load. However this time I formatted, after the screen intel and BIOS, a black scren appears for 1 minute, then an alternating black and white bar appears at the bottom. no text, nothing. This bar fills up until halfway, then the "xp" logo appears and the computer loads normally. the problem is that the loading bar takes 7 min + join to halfway. so my newly formatted computer load in 8-9 minutes rather than 30 seconds like its supposed to!

  I tried to reformat, reinstall xp, but the same thing is happening: s
  Once the computer loads however, everything works fine. It's just takes TOO long!

• When I log into Windows, the login screen does not appear, how can I fix?

  I am running Windows XP Professional.  When I start my computer, it works fine.  I can log on and have no problem.  Unfortunately, when I log into my profile, Windows logon screen does not appear.  I use the log on screen where you have to manually type your user name and password.  The HP wallpaper happens, but the log in box does not work.  Better yet, it is not always the case.  I logged on and outside several times without any problems to come back later and find the log in box missing.  The only way I can solve the problem is to manually shut down the computer using the power button then restarting him.  I have no idea why this is happening or how I can fix this problem.  Any ideas?
