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.

    • Fire and rehire. Doubt the work contracts are as favourable. Smart tactic using AI to do it legally.
    • > And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. Sigh.. of course it does. I just don't understand why anyone would want to play this on PC, when the far superior AoE 2/DE exists. Just kill this with fire already. Or a trebuchet.
    • Normally you'd just want to use Ventoy, but Rufus is handy when: - Ventoy doesn't work (some BIOSes can be weird) - You're mainly interested in creating a single Windows live USB and not interested in a multi-boot / Linux USBs - You want to automate your Windows installations (Rufus supports creating/injecting an autounattend.xml file which fully automates a Windows install). You can do this with Ventoy as well, but it requires a bit more of an effort. Also worth nothing is that both automatically bypass Windows 11's artificially imposed restrictions (TPM, CPU etc).
