No Internet, Win7 boots up into black screen
This is a strange one. Once or twice my win7 has booted up, post, then blue screen with welcome, then it goes into a black screen with a mouse (not hung it can be moved). Answer, log on to Netgear router from another computer and reboot it! Then by magic the desktop in the win 7 computer (wired to network) magically comes alive and a full desktop appears. Have tried rebooting with network cable out - still the black screen. Sometimes on lease renew on router this limited connectivity occurs - but that should not be the issue. Can the desktop hang if no internet connection is present - very weird. Any one else come across this problem. Mike
