    damn


    Even repair is no option, because system restore was turned off to save disk space. I'm affraid that I'm running out of options.

    Tomorrow I will restore an old disk image with the basic configuration of this laptop.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Wait! Don't do that yet!

    Did you see my post? Take the Windows 7 disc, insert it in your drive and then start your computer. You will have to hit F9 or whatever option you see on the initial startup screen to get to boot options.

    Once you get to boot options, you will boot to CD ROM from there you should not be prompted for a password. It should take you into the Windows Installation screen, and one of the options after you click install is repair.

    Try that first before doing the whole OS over.

    victory!


    A last desperate attempt with the repair functions on the W7 DVD seems a solution for this problem.
    Although the startup repair routine did not find any errors, and after running the windows memory diagnostic tool with no errors, the system cured itself so I was able to log in again.

    Now, first of all, I will create a new image of this disk on a safe place and hope to encounter no more such problems with W7.

    Thanks for the helpful and quick responses!

    Well, actually this is the backup. let me explain how i did.
    This is a enterprise version of windows that i gained from my work ftp.
    this install requires to have 1 partition on the disk, so it merges any partitions
    created earlier. I installed this windows on my laptop with another hdd, than
    backed up with ghost and put it back on another hdd with 2 partitions.
    this is for the reason of keeping my partitions.

    the backup works, windows starts up perfect but after a few days of use, this problem occurs.
    If i am quick after windows is loaded and press ctrl-alt-del after the page is seen
    than it works for 90%. but if i wait after the page is loaded and than press the
    3 buttons, it won't popup.

    Problem reappeared today.
    Seems to be a problem with HP protecttools software.
    Removed the software, now everything looks fine.

    Hello Nico.



    If ever in future you need to find if a prog/app is causing issues at startup / shutdown have a look at the thread at the link below.
