yeah weird.,

Anyway the bootloader is using the same screen as it does when it first boots the system (you know when Installing windows 7?) ., or it's exactly the same as the Vista boot screen.

Yet I just installed Windows 7 Professional so yeah I found it rather weird.

Just asking, why would it do that., and is there any way I can just make it do the Windows 7 bootscreen without installing extra stuff.

I have the same problem, except that I'm running Windows 8 RP.
PC boots with Vista boot loader.

fail!

I've seen my copy of Windows 7 Professional do the same sometimes. It doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally. Never looked into why though.

I'm not sure exactly what causes it, but sometimes when I run "sfc /scannow" in command prompt, Windows might repair whatever files were corrupted.. and when it does, I'd get the Vista bootloader.

I noticed that on my old PC running Win7 Ultimate. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't...does seem odd though

weird, it worked for me... Is your screen resolution larger or equal to 1024x768?

[The King of GnG]

Well, I don't think that "boot screen" is the Vista "boot loader" anyway....

How is it a fail?

[prz]

Resolutions under a certain size do this.

[Matthew_Thepc]

yep, normally resolution problems, or I've seen where updating your BIOS fixes it.

[Manarift]

that happening usually a resolution problem every time that happened to me

If you multiboot, the PC will default to the latest-installed bootloader; also the bootloaders in Vista, 7, and 8RP are, in fact, little different - the Consumer Preview, with it's default mouseable bootloader, is the real game-changer.

Where i'm curious is why did the Release Preview drop the mouse-able loader as the default.
