    Build 7077 stuck @ login screen!


    Hi all!
    I've been using seven (32bit version) for quite a while now on my laptop ( MSI GX710PX - amd turion64 x2, ati hd2600 (512MB), 250 GB,2 gigs of ram). The first installation did the problem mentioned in the title of the topic after i installed Kerio personal firewall - i didn't know what to do, so i just reinstalled windows.

    But now it happened again:
    The comp was running for 3 days, i turned it off @ around 2:00 am, then turned it on at 8:00 am - for the first time i could login, and i even see the taskbar and the background, but the icons never showed, i couldn't click anything on the taskbar either, ctrl+alt+del did nothing, so i had to restart it manually. The login screen showed up, i entered my password, but it never made it to the desktop, it just got stuck like that, the HDD wasn't spinning or anything - restart - in safe mode it boots up normally , so i uninstalled a few recently installed programs ( mkvtoolnix and alike ), but after restarting it got stuck at the login screen again.

    Now normally i would just reinstall windows, but after two months it has too many programs - lot of time to install them again
    So i thought i'll ask here for help! The notebook has XP as it's main OS, seven is installed on a virtual harddrive (30gigs).
    Thank's for any kind of help in advance!

    Hi there
    I can't give you a reason as to the error but this might work.

    Try starting Windows in SAFE MODE as you've done but disable Networking and then shutting down. This should clear out any "Stuck" services. Switch off Firewall and uninstall any AV software whilst in SAFE MODE.

    Incidentally while you are logged on in save mode see what starts automatically and stop those you don't need -- there are posts around suggesting what you can stop running automatically.

    When you try again in "Normal mode" start DISCONNECTED from any network and switch your wireless card off.

    Cheers

    Thank you Jimbo! Iam not sure which part helped, but i was able to successfuly log in :) One correction from my side, iam using build 7057 and not 7077 :-x
    What i did was - logged in in safe mode without networking, removed my antivir, turned off my wifi card, unplugged the network cable, then turned off the comp. I looked in msconfig at the startup section, and only 3 programs were ticked - ati catalyst, live messenger and the sidebar (i've disabled a few things in the past, no problems with that imho), so i left them like that. UAC was disabled, but i couldnt make my way to the section where i can disable the firewall - the control panel looks a whole lot different than in normal mode :-x
    I'll go and reinstall the antivir software (eset nod32) and i'll report back if the problem returns! Thank you for your help once again \o

    You may want to do a bit of research (if you haven't already) in ESET & NOD32 using Windows 7. You could try looking here Windows 7 compatible Antivirus or here Beta Norton 360 for W7

    Hope this helps :)

    Thank you for the tips! The problem returned today, and also went away after uninstalling nod 32 i'll start and look for a different antivir software.

    I moved to the newer version of NOD 32 (version 4.0.314.0), using the trial version for now, so far so good :P I'll keep you guys posted if the problem returns.
