Please HELP! Can NOT get past the Welcome Screen! !

[Katmandu]

I have a major problem!! Running Vista 32bit w/SP1.

After booting, Vista comes on very nicely UNTIL after the Welcome Screen!

After the Welcome screen, all I get is the Cursor sitting there. I see the HDD blinking, but it will NOT progress past this point !! I've rebooted multiple times and still can NOT get past this point!

This is a Critical PC that must get working ASAP!

Yes, I do have backup files....but really need this going ASAP!

Please help!

Have you tried Restore Points? Have you tried Safe Mode? Have you tried creating a new profile in Safe mode? Have you tried anything other than just booting to the same issue?

Press ctrl+alt+delete three times, does that get you to the sign on screen?

If so this is a drive conflict, install the manufacture drivers for all wireless hardware.

I would if I could access them.

Like I said, it boots just past the Vista Welcome screen and then HANGS.

Don't worry, I tell to you simple steps about your O.S. and you follow this steps one by one.

1. On your System.
2. Use O.S CD and format your System.
3. After that make different partition of your System HDD and then Install O.S in your system.

After that all process completed then restart your system and your system welcome screen is appear. :

I'm pretty sure if the user needs the PC up ASAP that they probably need the data on the computer too - formatting would delete that data.

Had this problem cept with just a black screen...

This is what worked for me.

Find a boot cd off the net. Hirens Boot CD is an example.

Use the CHKDSK /R in the command prompt. This locates any bad sectors and recovers any readable information.

After that my computer went back to normal....
Mine was because i was screwing around with ubuntu
BUT
Most likely a sign of a failing hard disk if your not doing anything out of the ordinary.
