Lately when I boot up my laptop it starts up and gives me the welcome sign and then the screen goes black for a minute or 2 and then it boots up to the desktop. I tried going into MSCONFIG and removing some start up programs and nothing seems to work.
try this and comment if something has changed Black Screen woes could affect millions on Windows 7, Vista and XP
I tried it and it brought me to a Prevx page and wanted me to download a program which would probably cost money.
I came to this forum looking for slow boot causes but I'm not sure I should feel too bad about it now. All I did was add a Hauppage HVR-2250 card and that more than doubled my boot time. However; complaining about going from 20 seconds to 42 seconds seems trivial now.
