| | blank screen in Vista (except toolbar) My Vista Ultimate had been running for about a week, then suddenly I had only a black screen. Except for the toolbar at the bottom, and start menus, and dialog boxes still displayed. Apparently all the applications were running fine. It's just actual windows that wouldn't display. I poked at it some, and it turned into just a white screen (still showing the toolbar). I right-clicked on the toolbar and selected Task Manager. Like dialog boxes, task manager displayed fine. I had Task Manager list all processes (which asked for permission, but dialog boxes displayed OK). And I asked task manager to "End Process" dwm, the desktop window manager. Voila, all my windows showed up again! Except they aren't semi-transparent anymore. |

| Vista Ultimate x32 | Re: blank screen in Vista (except toolbar) Care about the lack of memory resouces that caused that problem, im sure you got so plenty of stuff starting automaticaly with windows when you switch on the pc, that you get blue screens like that, its the name for it. Should you discover other habits the way you´re pushing the pc, couse the pc its fine. Deactivate everything that truly you don´t need. Bye. |
