Re: Vista boot Stuck on a black screen with a mouse cursor




I work on a domain with close to 400 PC's that we are starting to roll
out VISTA. We ran into this issue with the first batch.

After reading some of the posting most of you are probably not running
domains, and AC's.

We use login scripts for installing printers, what we determined is,
the reason vista was sitting on that black screen was it was waiting for
the user to accept the new driver to install the printer. We ran a bunch
of tests and determined this was the reason. For those of you not on
domains, the best I can tell you is, there is something waiting to be
installed.

the temp fix is to login as admin and it should load and prompt you
accept the new driver. then the user can login fine. (This will need to
be done for every printer that needs a driver installed. Also note our
printers are oming form a win 2K3 Server running x86 (32 Bit) drivers
and our vista machins are x64 (64 Bit) machines, so we are installing
the x64 drivers and that is where we are getting held up.

Again, Most of you have not received this because of printers, but the
computer is loading, it is waiting for a user responce to a prompt that
you can see. Logging in as admin should allow you to see these prompts.
Hope it helped
