Also try and undo the update if possible. Try to uninstall/reinstall any drivers/programs you recently changed.
Black and white 2 mouse fix driver#
To fix I simply removed roxio, which removed the driver that was causing windows to hang while starting up. While you may not have either program, becuase of that conflict if I were to start windows normally I would end up with nothing but a black screen and a mouse cursor(no commands working). For me it was a conflict of Roxio (By the way stay far away from roxio as vista doesn't play nice with it) and MagicDisk a program that manages virtual disk drives. Start your computer in safe mode and try to find the driver in question. Hey there, I had the same thing happen to me, for different reasons, but what is happening is a driver is not loading corrertly. Again, this would solve all issues but it worked for me. I hope this saves a few reinstalls (or even system restore points) for some of you. I have yet to try all of them to narrow down which one was the bad one. I even set it back to the bad logs and the black screen issue reappeared.Īfter I was able to log in, I opened up each of the bad logs that were modified recently. This will create an empty folder for new event logs. Here's how you can do that:ġ) Use the vista DVD to go to the repair mode.Ģ) From the same screen where you do the system restore, there's an option to open an administrative command prompt.ģ) That should open in X:\Sources or something like thatĤ) Go to the windows drive by entering C:ĥ) Now go to the windows event log folder on your machine (C:\Windows\System32\winevt): So I thought well, the logs are just corrupt, let me clear them out manually. I was running with UAC on so maybe that was why (?)įor some reason i could not open anything to disable the Event Viewer service (probably due to UAC). However system restore should have taken care of the registry corruption and probably logon would have failed entirely.Ĥ) I could not open services.msc, regedit, etc.
(This also seemed to key into a corrupt event log or possibly a registry corruption). Here's what I found:ġ) Seems that this issue may have multiple causes but deals with a logon issue/hangup.Ģ) Even safe mode was a problem (if safe mode works, then it is probably not the event viewer corruption issue).ģ) I used the Shift 5 times trick to get a explorer open but other things didn't work. (thanks kzsmtkts!) That was definitely the problem for me and saved me another reinstall. This thread is awesome and led me to the event viewer corruption.
The first time it happened, I reinstalled vista after much debugging and diagnosing. Neither ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-shift-esc do anything. Nothing on my keyboard works except the sleep button which does actually send the computer into sleep mode. Mouse moves the pointer, tryed clicking everywhere on screen - nothing

He then tells me it is nothing to do with what he'd instructed me to do and tells me to contact the PC OEM and hangs up, leaving me with an issue that is clearly a known microsoft problem. He tells me to hit F8, boot in safe mode (no joy) and then with last known good configuration. Horrified, I tell the tech support guy what has happened.

After attempting to install the update (which failed!!), and subsequent re-boot I get the the black sceen with mouse pointer. We then start in safe mode, disable nearly everything in startup and services then reboot as normal. They get me to delete various temporary files as well as renaming certain folders to. So I'm on the phone with microsft tech support trying to install a vista update which fails everytime.
