well, with windows 7's recovery options it would be no problem to put in the disc and do a reinstall....

not sure what all it would do though....

Tried it before (startup repair), no changes to the boot screen. If I only knew where is that bootscreen...

I don't see any bootscreen at all :s. My install just goes to the login screen directly after a couple of seconds of a blank screen.

What are your system specs? I'm kind of annoyed because with my system, I figured I would be seeing no bootscreen, but no... I see it every boot for about 10 seconds.

It's no big deal so long as everything else works, I hardly ever reboot my machine, and a girlfriend of mine isn't even impressed with it, being a "Macette" and all! :s

A windows enthusiast web site owner, has a girlfriend that likes Mac's :no:

It's almost like Melinda Gates using a Mac at home :p

Modifying the boot files could cause this. Quote from Rafael at withinwindows.com:

"Before you think about cracking open your resource editor and replacing system files, be aware winload.exe, the Windows Boot Loader, has a list of critical files (e.g. ntoskrnl, tmp.sys) that are checked for valid digital signatures. bootres.dll and its associated MUI are now on this Sinofsky-like list, an intentional move to secure the Windows 7 brand. This means any modification of these files will result in Windows 7 falling back to the Windows Vista-style boot graphics. To workaround this behavior, you?ll need to patch the Windows Boot Loader itself, or keep a kernel debugger attached at all times. Yuck. [Nitpicker corner: I have not gone down the noguiboot path]"

So maybe try restoring these files back to original (extract from install.wim or boot.wim, boot to Windows 7 DVD and use the command prompt) will fix this.
