Windows 7 RTM - A long boot up
Hello Seven - Forums.
Not long ago I installed W7 on my Macbook laptop as a dual-boot with leopard. Recently my boot up became extremely long because of a black screen that contains only a small white line that blinks on the top left corner of the screen. This screen remains for almost 2 minutes before windows starts.
I already checked the booted drivers to see if anyone is stalling the process , but I've discovered that the drivers only begin to load after that long black screen.
The only thing I installed recently was Avast , so I thought it may be the problem , but a deletion check proved false and the black screen still remained. Also taking out all USB plugs didnt help either.
I should also point out that I had Windows XP in a dual - boot with Leopard before and it worked perfectly , there was no black screen. I had an idea of re-installing but I thought it will prove a better solution to ask here first , so I wont go and reinstall for nothing. I guess I should also add that windows itself works perfectly , I have no driver or software errors at all.
