• Windows Vista - Black Screen on startup.
    11 replies, posted
Recently I installed Vista (NOT THE PROBLEM), and I installed a few stuff. I rebooted and a glorious black screen appeared after the loading bars, but the cursor was there and I could move it, but that was it. I put in my Vista disk and did a startup repair, and it said "No problems found". Sorry for the wrong thread icon, but I need help. I also left my netbook (Yes, it ran Vista fine for the last 3 reboots, but now it idles on a black screen). Help, FP.

re install?
Oh fuck no.
Are you dual booting it with anything?
Ah screw this, I will just get a new netbook. Any good netbooks I should get. (No Saying Dell)

I can return the netbook to get another one, the thing broke in less than 90 days.
Reinstall is still much easier, and probably not as much of a hassle.

No, I forgot to tell you that when I boot it from the DVD, the thing gives me a BOOTMGR error, and I'm not saying that "BOOTMGR.SYS IS MISSING".
wait if it's a netbook why are you trying to put Vista on it? Use 7 or XP or some Linux distro, but not Vista.

You put your Vista DVD back in the drive and boot from it. When it shows the first screen, look in the corner for a "Repair Installation" option. It will most likely detect the problem and fix it all by itself. Congrats, you saved all your data.
