Upgrade Install Problem
Hi all,
I have tried to do a clean install my Win 7 upgrade disc on a fresh rebuild of my old PC. After it is installed and does its update from the internet, it will only reboot to a blue Win 7 screen with no desktop. There is no taskbar, no icons, nothing but a light blue Win 7 screen with the logo as the desktop.
Have I done something wrong?
I have not activated the install yet, and I unchecked the automatic activation at the setup menu. Neither did I create a Windows.old folder yet in the C drive. All I did was let IE 8 update itself to 9 and download and install the latest Radeon driver for my HD 5450 video card. After it does this and reboots, all I can get is the empty desktop screen.
It does not even give me an error code or any kind of clue as to what has gone wrong. It lets me put it into Sleep Mode via my keyboard's sleep button, and it wakes up just fine when I move the mouse. But only to the light blue Win 7 screen with no icons or taskbar.
I have rebooted it several times from a complete shutdown, as well, but still no joy.
Does anyone have an answer to this one?
