| | Vista Boot issue Hi, We have two identical Vista machines (hardware wise). They are running Vista Corp 64bit. When one of them boots, it sits at a black screen before the login. Sometimes it will sit here for 2 minutes, sometimes 15mins, depends. No hdd activity, no error logs, no nothing. SP1 has been installed and still no joy. Any ideas? Thanks |

This will show you how if needed. Startup Repair Shawn |

| | Re: Vista Boot issue Hi, Since they're identical, swap the hard drives and see if the behavior moves as well. If it does, then it's the either the hard drive or the installation. If it doesn't, then it's the hardware on the machine that's stalling. I suspect the latter, possibly memory, psu, or motherboard. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Gorge Lucas" <help@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:utrFcLdlIHA.464@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > We have two identical Vista machines (hardware wise).
