Logon Screen is blank most of the time
Hi!
After booting my machine (Sony VAIO Z2) the logon screen appears, but just the background. Everything else is missing. Only option I do have is forcing the notebook to shutdown by pressing power-button for a few sec.
This does not happen all the time. Sometimes I'm able to boot/logon normally a few times in a row, sometimes I have to reboot very often just to finally get to the (non-blank) logon screen.
I've seen that there are already a few (old) threads on this topic in this forum, but none of them seemed to solve the problem I have. I don't want to be reinstalling all over again.
I've already tried to deactivate some services like Novell Client and fingerprint reader, which both interfere in the logon process. But nothing changed.
Booting from a Windows 7 DVD and using startup repair function hasn't changed anything either.
