I have Vista 32-bit on a Dell-XPS.
Just did a restore to factory setting since it took 15 mins to boot-up and my programs kept freezing (already posted this problem but found no solutions so I did the restore to factory settings as a last resort).
Now, it STILL takes a while to even get to the black screen. I have a black screen with a white cursor that I can move around. I pressed the shift key 5 times and something does pop up with a yes/no option.
I tried to put it in safe mode, but it told me to finish installing windows. (The black screen happened right after my restore to factory setting).
=solved=
had to leave it on for about an hour to have windows continue installing
