Pc running Vista ultimate. On boot up "Preparing your desktop" appears on
screen. After a few seconds i'm left with a blank screen except for the cursor. Ctrl-alt-delete brings up usual screen with various choices. Any ideas? |

Hi,
From Task Manager (ctrl/alt/delete) click "new task" on the applications tab. Type regedit and click ok. Go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Click on the key, then locate the shell string at right and double click it. Replace the contents with just explorer.exe Click ok and close the registry editor, then logoff (if you can) and reboot the system. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Miniheadroom" wrote in message ...
