Computer Help Forums: Re: Vista boot Stuck on a black screen with a mouse cursor - Computer Help Forums

HI
Thanks a lot for your advice there, helped me, did exactly as you said,
and that windows event log seems to be the problem, for the life in me i
cant figure out what to do about it, but doesnt affect anything so far,
and i can do my work!

started uo in diagnostic mode, shift 5 times, pressed the middle ease
of access button
chose a rndom location on my hardrive. Went into windows folder,
searched for msconfig, and disabled all startup services, computer didnt
restart, so had to shut it down, and on restart worked!
